Project Manager

I was born and raised in Lebanon, a country I hold close to my heart, though I now reside in France. My deep connection to my homeland and my desire to give back to my community drive much of what I do. With aspirations to college my goal is to dedicate my career to helping those in need. Beyond my academic pursuits, I have a profound love for nature, finding peace and inspiration in its beauty.

The village lacks public space that is green and clean. There are a few areas, such as parking and paved lots and a basketball court, however they are impractical and insufficient. Building a public garden would encourage locals to engage more in outdoor activities in their own village, especailly during a time of crisis. We acknowledge that there is a lack of space in the village, however we hope that locals would donate unused/unwanted land for this cause.

1 - Plant-A-Tree 3.0

• press here to plant a tree

Continuing our mission, we expanded the Plant-A-Tree initiative in 2024 with a budget of $250. We distributed and planted 100 citrus trees on private properties. Landowners committed to nurturing these trees, which aim to support their families in the future. Although the trees won’t yield fruit immediately, they will provide a sustainable food source within a year or two. Our initiative addresses deforestation and food insecurity amid Lebanon’s economic crisis. Let’s plant for a
better future—one tree at a time.

2 - Zouk Mikael Beach Clean-up

• Recycling Guide

This summer we met and partnered with a non-profit called Chabeb Zouk Mikael. With their resources, we decided to clean a public beach in Zouk Mikael (North of the Zouk electricity station, near Solemar). All the plastic, aluminium, and recyclables were transported to a recycling sorting facility run by Chabeb Zouk Mikael. The recyclables are sold, and the profits are used to pay the wages of the workers (which are retired/older citizens and citizens with disabilities) and any left over are used to help local Lebanese families in need.
Keeping our beaches clean benefits both the environment and our community.
Please recycle; what seems like trash to you can be valuable to others.

3 - Food Parcels

• press here to support

As part of the Plant-A-Tree project, we have gathered, sorted and distributed food parcels for local families in immediate need of support. As our influence expands, this year we have sent parcels to Aaramoun, Jdeidet-Ghazir, Qattine and Ghazir.
Special thanks go to Metro Supermarket for allowing us to collect donations from their customers and to Tony Abi Raad’s Village Market for their generous contributions. We also appreciate the close collaboration with the Araamoun Municipality.

4 - Mar Michael Stairs

With just $12 and a full day of work, we decided to quickly repaint the Mar Michael stairs with more durable paint. We wanted to revive the fading colors and highlight the colors of nature. Please keep our village and environment clean and beautiful.

1 - Plant-A-Tree

• press here to plant a tree

In the summer of 2022, we have launched a new initiative called Plant-A-Tree. We were able to distribute and plant 60 fruit trees on private properties. These trees aim to provide families with a sustainable source of food over time. We also provided 25 food parcels for families facing immediate challenges.
Ambitiously, this initiative tackles deforestation and food insecurity in the amidst of the economic collapse. Although the trees may not produce fruits immediately, they will start to become a sustainable source of food within a year and many more years to come.
Let's start planting for a better future, one tree at a time.

We were able to clean up the stairs that we painted last year. Although many of the colors have faded, we did not repaint. Our mission is to clean up the environment and encourage others to keep it clean and profit from it recreationally. We remain committed to keeping these areas clean and accessible.

1 - Old Walkway/ Stairs Beautification

Jdeidet-Ghazir is a charming little village with potential. Throughout the village we cleaned-up, cleared-up and beautified select stairs by painting and adding color to encourage more locals to use them for basic travels and even recreational use. These walkways are located near churches and connect the village's residences to the supermarkets and shops on the main road.

In the span of one month and with a tight budget, we have cleaned and beautified 3 strategically located stairs in Jdeidet-Ghazir and Qattine. Two in Jdeidet-Ghazir (Saint Michael and Saint Maroun Stairs) and one in Qattine (Saint Charbel Stairs).

Although this project doesn't directly pertain to our mission, we saw a void that we felt needed to be quickly filled. This project aimed to promote mental well-being by encouraging locals to walk, use the walkways for basic travel, and find a sense of peace during Lebanon’s ongoing crisis

2 - Municipality Street Clean-up

We conducted a four-day street clean-up, dividing areas into colored zones to improve efficiency. The collected garbage has been sorted and sent to be recycled. The goal is to create a healthier and more sustainable environment while also promoting eco-friendly practices and community building.

In this project, we have worked with the local municipality and cleaned up the Jdeidet-Ghazir area. This includes picking up garbage from the main, internal and old roads. We were not able to clean up the village creek due to limited access and supplies.
