In response to the 2020 Beirut explosion, Fakih, alongside her husband Wassim Slaiby, created a campaign called "#GlobalAidForLebanon", in collaboration with Global Citizen and the United Nations World Food Programme. The fundraiser has raised over 2 million dollars to provide assistance for those affected. On April 15, 2021, Fakih was appointed to the United Nations World Food Programme USA's Board of Directors.
