Who are we?
The Respect and Care Association is considered one of the distinguished associations for its services, despite its recent establishment. It is not limited to a specific geographical spot, but exceeds its narrow scope, covering the entire nation to include all its spectra. The association identifies the general and specific needs of the elderly (especially seniors and those with special needs), trying to address those needs in line with the resources available to it.
The association was established by a group of individuals with advanced degrees, some residing in the homeland and others abroad. These individuals delved into a profound study of human needs and concluded that the elderly are a marginalized group in need of serious care. Hence, they established this promising association.
Every shared laughter and story from the elderly is a testament to the legacy and enduring wisdom they gracefully gift to us.
Vision
We strive to be an active association in our community – especially in the areas of our core activities specified in our constitution – encompassing charitable, humanitarian, social, cultural, environmental, and scientific aspects. We are always seeking to find appropriate management, elements, and methods within the association that align with the developments and changes occurring in both the local and external communities. Additionally, we aim to cooperate and collaborate with other associations to achieve the desired goals and objectives.
Respect and care for the elderly is a reflection of a society's gratitude for the wisdom and experience they've bestowed upon us.

Upcoming Initiatives
Emotional Bonds
This initiative focuses on strengthening bonds within society, communities, and families. It involves organizing visits for orphans and the elderly to provide emotional support and fill a void in their lives.
Mental Health Care Support and Hope
The goal here is to offer opportunities for vulnerable elderly, pensioners, and orphans to rebuild their lives and regain confidence especially those with mental health challenges. This includes arranging meetings and gatherings where these groups can interact, share opinions, and discuss life issues.
My Right To Learn
This program is designed to professionally train individuals in providing assistance to the elderly and those in need within their homes. The objective is to not only create enhanced opportunities for these trained professionals but also to establish a skilled workforce dedicated to supporting and caring for the elderly.
Elderly and Disabled Medical Aid Equipment
There is an urgent need for medical aid equipment for the aged and disabled, as these items are often prohibitively expensive. The RCA's mission includes supporting these groups by providing necessary equipment like medical beds, wheelchairs, walkers, and oxygen support.
Equipped Minibus for People with Disabilities
RCA is committed to aiding individuals with disabilities by providing a community-equipped minibus. This specially designed vehicle will offer necessary accommodations and equipment to ensure accessible and affordable transportation for people with disabilities.
Hygiene Support
With the soaring cost of hygiene products in Lebanon, the RCA has initiated a project to provide essential hygiene kits and cleaning materials to those in need, including the elderly, disabled, and orphans.
Equipped Ambulance for Safe Hospital Transportation
Recognizing the high cost of transportation to hospitals, the RCA has proposed providing an equipped ambulance service, especially crucial for those living far from medical facilities.
Warm Winter Aid
This initiative supports families, particularly the elderly and sick, in Lebanon's colder regions. It focuses on ensuring their safety and comfort during winter by providing necessary resources to keep their homes warm.
Medication Aid Support
Addressing the rising medication costs in Lebanon, this project aids those unable to afford their medical prescriptions.
Home Care Support
RCA volunteers are dedicated to assisting families, the elderly, pensioners, and the sick in Lebanon by ensuring they have safe, healthy living conditions. This includes regular health visits, providing hot meals, and maintaining clean living environments.
Mercy
As unemployment rises in Lebanon, leading to reduced income and financial struggles, RCA plans to provide educational and medical financial treatment aid to those in need.
My Family
RCA's project aims to support low-income families by establishing home-based businesses. This includes training and financial support for families with the potential to grow their income but lacking the necessary capital.

Purchased 2 medical beds, 2 water mattresses, and 1 walker. These tools were lent to the elderly and others in need.
