Humanitarian aid, education, and empowerment for communities in crisis — driven by benevolence, transparency, and the belief that every life matters.
We Deserve Better Foundation (WDBF) provides humanitarian aid and life-changing support to communities who need it most. Our work spans two frontlines — the ongoing conflict in Lebanon and long-term development in Nigeria.
Guided by Benevolence, Transparency, and Sustainability — we do it for the children, the women, and everyone who deserves better.
Support Our WorkCompassion drives every decision — on the ground and in the boardroom.
Every dollar is accounted for. Donors always know exactly where their generosity goes.
We build systems that outlast our visits — jobs, schools, clean water, lasting change.
Since the devastating August 4, 2020 Beirut explosion — and through the escalating war — WDBF has been an unrelenting presence in Lebanon, delivering daily meals, emergency supplies, and medical care to families with nowhere else to turn.
Every single day, our team operates community kitchens providing 2,300 hot meals to displaced families and individuals across Lebanon. We prepare, pack, and deliver — directly and personally. No intermediaries. We are the ones in the kitchens, on the streets, and at the doors of those who cannot leave their homes.
Our kitchen operations are a lifeline for the elderly, the sick, mothers with young children, and families displaced by the ongoing conflict who have lost everything.
We assemble and distribute comprehensive care packages combining food staples with critical hygiene supplies — soap, feminine products, diapers, disinfectants, and toiletries. In a crisis, dignity is not a luxury. We make sure families have both the nourishment and the basic care products they need to live with dignity.
We supply essential medication for both short and long-term needs, personally fund surgeries, and cover countless medical consultations. Lebanon's healthcare system is under catastrophic strain — we step in where the system cannot, ensuring that illness does not become a death sentence for those without means.
We are on the ground, every day.
Your donation fuels every meal,
every kit, every life saved.
In Kano, Nigeria, WDBF is building the long-term future — schools, clean water, and open doors for thousands of children who would otherwise have none.
11,500+ students learning across 11 schools built by WDBF. 1,500+ orphans study in one of the largest establishments ever built across four states in Kano — shelter, clean water, and food included.
5,000+ young girls brought closer to safety through their village's largest girls-only school division — currently under construction. We give girls a protected, empowered path forward.
75 boreholes now give communities access to clean water for the first time. Safe water is one of the most impactful, life-saving interventions a community can receive.
500+ hand-tricycles and bicycles provided to people with disabilities — many victims of inadequate Polio vaccination — enabling greater independence and a meaningfully enhanced quality of life.

Education & Crisis Relief Partner
We collaborate with Ahla Fawda — a Beirut-based NGO founded in 2014 and dedicated to community welfare, humanitarian action, and cultural empowerment — on education programs and emergency crisis relief efforts across Lebanon. Together, we distribute essential goods, support displaced families, and work to keep communities connected during times of extreme hardship.

Women's Cancer Awareness Partner
In partnership with the Barbara Nassar Association for Cancer Patient Support — whose mission is that every cancer patient has the right to treatment with dignity — we collaborate on women's cancer awareness initiatives and fund free Pap smear and HPV testing for women in Lebanon. Early detection saves lives. We make sure that cost is never the reason a woman doesn't get tested.

A resilient cancer patient and talented crochet artist, Arpi's treatment was interrupted by the Lebanon crisis — threatening both her health and livelihood. WDBF funded her care. Today, Arpi is recovered, thriving, and earning a sustainable income from her craft.
After the Beirut explosion destroyed his home and work equipment, George had no way forward. WDBF helped him rebuild from scratch. Today he works as a construction manager — a testament to what collective support can achieve.
