We are..

Founded Febraury 25th, 2011 in response to the call for democracy in Libya, the New Libya Foundation serves to nurture democratic foundations through the building of Libyan civil society from the ground up. The most vital element of a new Libya is a society that is able to determine the course of its future, and contribute in setting the priorities of its governing body. No call to democratic governance can be realized until people organize to address their concerns and aspirations.

The Libyan people have taken on the cause of building their nation and empowering citizens. The New Libya Foundation is working to provide the resources and means necessary to build the civic institutions of the new Libya and generations to come.

Our Mission
Nurture the successful development of civil society organizations in Libya through training, education, access to resources and financial assistance. Our vision is broad with our immediate focus on: Civic engagement, inclusiveness, and association.

Support Operation Empower for Refugees on the Libyan Tunisian Border

Help Libyan Women and Children Refugees Today by Donating via PayPal

Over 100,000 refugees on the Tunisian and Libyan border need your help to recover from the atrocities of Gaddafi’s regime. These men, women and children are struggling for their lives and the future of their country. Help support their efforts as the Libyan struggle for freedom continues.

The non-profit charitable organization, The New Libya Foundation, is operating the Hana Naas Center (HNC) which supports the women and children refugees who have been adversely affected by the conflict by providing much needed social, psychological, physical, and education services.

The effects of Libya’s war for democracy are numerous, with women, men and children showing symptoms of PTSD, Accute Stress Disorder and depression. The HNC is working to bring a holistic treatment going beyond restoring mental health to empowering women and young people to take on the challenges that lie ahead in re-building their newly freed country.

We need to raise $100,000 this month to keep the center operational for six months. Please contribute whatever amount you can, no amount is too small or too large. By donating to the center, you are helping the women and children who will some day return to their homes in Libya to rebuild their nation, free of Gadaffi’s oppressive regime.
