Danchurchaid - About

DCA’s operations in Lebanon support DCA’s three international goals: Save Lives, Build Resilient Communities 
and Fight Extreme Inequity.

DCA’s own demining teams save lives in Mt. Lebanon and the Blue Line on the border with Israel by clearing 
dangerous landmines and cluster munitions, providing risk education and starting socio-economic 
development of the community after the cleared land has been handed back. To achieve the national goals set by 
the Lebanese Mine Action Centre, more funds are needed to finish the work, but the end is in sight.

With the support of national partners, DCA is building more resilient communities, provides improved 
livelihoods, youth empowerment, protection and immediate lifesaving assistance - both towards refugees and 
host communities. This includes psychosocial and legal support, reduction of violence and the enhancement 
of the ability of individuals to cope with psychosocial stress. DCA provides sustainable solutions while promoting 
well-being, resilience and social cohesion
