WE STRONGLY BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF GIVING AND THAT WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS

AN IMPACT DRIVEN LIFESTYLE BRAND

Prior to the devastating blast that occurred on August 4, 2020, Lebanon was already facing its worst economic crises with poverty and inflation reaching their peak.
The fatal explosion came at worst time possible and killed more than 200 people, injured thousands and made 300’000 people homeless.
Nearly half of the Lebanese population now live below the poverty line and the Coronavirus pandemic is only making the situation worse.

The Upper Hand exists to have a positive impact on communities during this difficult time. Through our online shop, we will connect our customers with nonprofit associations/organizations.
We are starting our mission by collaborating with 2 nonprofit associations and our long-term objective is to extend our list of partners in order to reach many causes that are dear to our heart. We are in business to make a difference, and every purchase made will help a person in need.

HOW ARE WE GIVING?

For every item purchased, we will donate 5 $ to the cause that you select between our options.

Our aim is to contribute to specific programs to help our partners pursue their missions. In addition to this, we will distribute clothing to families in need through our partners.

WHO ARE WE GIVING TO AND HOW?

BASSMA

How are we contributing?
Thanks to your contributions, The Upper Hand will support Bassma in their cooked meals distribution at the Smile Resto, where they feed families in need on a daily basis. Every 5 $ raised will help us provide 5 cooked meals to these families.

BASSMA is a Lebanese nonprofit association for social development, founded in 2002, that aims to empower deprived families and help them become self-sufficient. Families are recruited based on their needs, without any political or religious discrimination.

PARADIS D’ENFANTS

How are we contributing?
Our goal is to become a ‘Guardian Angel’ to as many children as possible. We will support children by helping them with their tuition fees. Together, we can make their future much brighter! Every 1000 $ raised will help cover annual tuition fees for one student.
