1for3 Model: Crisis-configured by design
Why our Community Health Worker (CHW) model works in high-risk, high-need environments:
Community Rooted
CHWs live within the villages they serve — no evacuation, no withdrawal
Deep trust built over months of sustained, consistent presence
Culturally fluent: language, customs, family dynamics
Neighbours helping neighbours — not outsiders arriving post-crisis
Crisis Adaptive
Designed to function when formal healthcare systems collapse
Low-infrastructure model: no clinic needed, no building dependency
Rapid pivot from routine care to psycho-social support
Bridges the gap when medical support is not sufficient or is no accessible
People Centered
Addresses social & psychological needs alongside physical health
Reduces isolation for elderly, disabled & displaced individuals
Advocates for families who cannot navigate disrupted systems alone
Tracks vulnerable cases — ensuring no one falls through the cracks

1for3-Lebanon
1for3-Lebanon is a new program of 1for3.org, a 501(c)(3)registered non-profit in Massachusetts founded about 15 years ago soon after we began working in Palestine in 2013 in the areas of health, education, and environment.
As our programs in Palestine continue in their tremendous growth, in June 2025 we expanded our work to South Lebanon to facilitate real change in people’s daily lives in a place of great need.
