Every year, we throw a music concert that helps us raise most of our funding. The twist? Doctors and medical students perform alongside artists in front of a live audience of over 6,000 people. View concerts
We started out in 2005 as a small NGO in Lebanon. Today, over 100 people are involved in our work, from medical staff, to performing artists and volunteers. Each talented individual in our dedicated team brings a unique set of expertise and experience to the organization.Meet the team
Over the years, we’ve received the help of many generous partners. Together, we’re saving 300 children every year.
Heartbeat has become a regional reference for the treatment of CHD and it will be contributing to raising the level of medical education in this field in the entire Middle East.

No matter how much time and effort I dedicate towards helping the cause of Heartbeat, I still feel the urge to do more. The reward? What could be better than knowing that your time and effort went towards mending little broken hearts!
Maxime Chaya, Heartbeat Ambassador
To live a Heartbeat concert is a real treat, especially since all the funds raised are entirely committed to the noble cause of saving children.
Johan Verkammen, Ambassador of Belgium
From medical development to awareness campaigns and fundraising events, we’re constantly coming up with new projects to save lives. By mobilizing your family and friends you too can save the life of a child.
