History of Cedar Home Orphanage
In 1957, TEAM Mission met with pastors and leaders from the Church of God in Lebanon to discuss the joint running of a shelter they had opened a few years prior called Haven of Hope. The shelter was for children who had been separated from their families during the Palestinian immigration or during the hostilities at that time. On July 21, 1961, the home got its official papers from the government and was named Cedar Home.
During the years Cedar Home moved from one place to another due, mainly because of the civil war between 1975 and 1991. Finally in 2001, it settled in Nabay, a village 13 kilometers northeast of Beirut.
