Hairdresser From South Lebanon Brings Joy to Displaced Children with Free Haircuts

As many families remain displaced due to the ongoing situation in Lebanon, small initiatives continue to make a difference on the ground.

Mustafa Tabaja, a hairdresser from Nabatieh, has been visiting public schools that are hosting displaced families, offering free haircuts to children. It’s a simple gesture, but one that gives kids a small break from the stress and a sense of normalcy amid such difficult times.

Alongside haircuts, Mustafa also brings small toys to hand out, creating moments of joy inside classrooms now filled with children far from home. Videos he shares online show kids smiling and interacting, even if just for a short time.

Offering moments of relief to the displaced, his initiative goes a long way for children far from home.

Initiatives like this highlight how people are finding their own ways to support one another. If you’d like to support Mustafa or get in touch, you can reach him through his Instagram page.
