Harvest for Health: Medical Camp for Farmers

Event

The Purpose Behind Our Events

We support Lebanese farmers by organizing events that promote learning, growth, and community. Whether you’re a farmer or someone who believes in Lebanon’s agricultural future, you’re welcome to join us and be part of the change.

Harvest for Health is a dedicated medical outreach initiative aimed at improving the well-being of farmers and their families who often neglect their health due to financial constraints and demanding work schedules. This free health check-up and awareness camp is organized in collaboration with local hospitals, volunteer doctors, and healthcare NGOs.

The event offers a wide range of medical services including general health screenings, blood pressure and sugar level checks, eye examinations, dental check-ups, and consultations with specialists. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by farmers—such as prolonged exposure to the sun, use of pesticides, and physically intensive labor—the camp also includes guidance sessions on preventing occupational health issues.

Health awareness sessions are conducted to educate attendees about nutrition, hydration, injury prevention, and seasonal disease control. Female health experts are also present to address women-specific health concerns in rural farming households.

To ensure continued care, essential medical kits—containing basic medicines, first aid items, and hygiene products—are distributed to all registered participants. For those identified with critical conditions, follow-up assistance is provided through our partner clinics.

The camp not only brings healthcare to the doorsteps of the underserved but also cultivates a culture of health awareness within farming communities—because a healthy farmer is the foundation of a healthy nation.
