ACT ( ACTIVE ADVOCACY of COMMUNITIES for TOMORROW) is a registered NGO (762/15) whose objective is to promote, support and help sustain initiatives having a positive impact on communities.

Our vision is to establish a link between emergency, rehabilitation and development, and our interventions seek to cover the multiple aspects of humanitarian and development crises through a multidisciplinary approach which is both global and local, and adapted to each context. With over 4,000 national and international staff, and over 340 projects implemented each year across 30 countries, ACTED is now reaching over 6 million beneficiaries per year.

In an attempt to empower citizens' engagement in public issues, we created a decentralized, cooperative and democratic platform where citizens gather into blocs that work in a bottom-up, independent manner with an access to all other blocs for cooperation. Our projects are initiatives brought to us by citizens wanting to implement solutions on the ground to daily problems we face at the community level. Projects vary from field work to policy research, and volunteers propose and manage their projects autonomously. We act as a civic accelerator by providing support to projects and enabling cooperation between citizens at the community level.

We work with local communities to improve people’s lives by contributing food, clothes, toys and furniture to the needy and we work to benefit communities by combining art with the improvement of urban structures and we bring light where there is darkness through the art of change.

HOW WE STARTED Aie Serve is youth-lead NGO that started in 2007 to spread the values of Respect, Acceptance, and Love. The word “Aie” is a Japanese word pronounced as “I” and means “Love”, so the name of NGO is Love to Serve or I Serve others. The idea came due to the aftermath of July War on Lebanon and the sharp polarization of the Lebanese youth. A group of friends started brainstorming ways of tackling this issue and agreed that the 3 basic values that are missing in Lebanon are Respect, Acceptance and Love. Loving others for who they are, and not which political background or sect they are from, respecting others’ point of views and beliefs no matter what, and accepting differences and considering them the seeds of diversity. Afterwards, t­­he group started gathering more ideas and people and tried to organize themselves little at a time while focusing on serving their surrounding and society at large. Aie Serve evolved from a group of friends, to a group of community service minded people, to a team and an organization. VISION, MISSION, AND GOALS VISION Aie Serve promotes the values of respect, acceptance and love to achieve an improved future for human kind. MISSION Aie Serve is a youth non-governmental organization that works on youth empowerment. GOALS Promote Aie Serve’s philosophy and professional volunteerism among the youth. Empower the youth with the needed soft skills and tools to develop the community. Leverage Aie Serve’s experience to support other organizations in developing their capacities.

Since its creation AJEM is standing for the rights of representation of prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families, throughout Lebanon. We are mainly concerned with the respect of human rights, the fight against torture in prisons and the work for the abolition of capital punishment. Nevertheless, we found ourselves rapidly under the obligation to expand the scope of our interventions in the light of the prisoners’ needs and the short comings of the Lebanese system when it comes to defending the rights of vulnerable people. That’s why the Ajem Rabieh Shelter (ARS) was founded in 2012. ARS is a transitional housing program that can serve up to 30 men for now. The purpose of our program is to provide individuals with comprehensive supportive services which will enable them to return to independent living, to obtain employment and permanent housing. We are currently providing a safe and stable place to ex-prisoners, homeless men and to refugees through their transition back into society in order to ensure a smooth social reinsertion. This is based on providing them with a supportive and stable environment to help them regain confidence to reconnect, with family, society and its prejudices and find a job to sustain themselves independently.

Our core values are based on the belief of all our members that every individual has the potential to make a change. Once youth are made aware of their potential, one can naturally become an active member of their community and civil society. Therefore, we aim to empower youth for them to establish a team-spirit amongst themselves, as well as a culture of peace with their surroundings. As youth start to create a strong sense of ownership and self-responsibility within themselves, they would progressively begin to internalize values like integrity, fairness, and transparency, while serving their community and holding local stakeholders accountable for their actions. Khota Ashabab will therefore become a beehive for youth to grasp their best potential in a supporting environment and to capitalize on their talents for the betterment of civil society. We know that through our dedication and adaptability in trying to get the real world to be the closest version possible to the ideal world, an example of perseverance with optimism will be set.

Li’s vision stretches beyond permaculture designs and sustainable living. We aim at reestablishing the connection between the culture and habitats we currently live in and the ones we previously cherished before we moved into an excessive and demanding lifestyle.The more we observe that fact, the more we realize that nature does not tolerate excess. Our nature as beings reached a point where it has traded abundance for excess. Infinite growth is destructive, sustainability is balance.We receive by giving, first the luxury of a retreat to raw nature, to learning different concepts (in local communities, schools, researchers. summer campers, practitioners, nature lovers, and curious observers) from organic planting, to harvesting, to eco building, to social responsibility ; A space for workshops/talks, hands-on experience where people can shape ideas, knowledge & skills.Workshops raise curiosity, results create initiative in others, and more results create a trend and then a momentum.We are neither a venture nor a venue, we are somehow collaborators of change, and we are learning that along the way, all channels tend to have an impact directly or indirectly.The project started with a series of workshops hosted by local and international people, starting with vermin-compost toilets to a cob oven, wood working and finally the building of an earth bag dome hobbit houseThe idea was to teach others the process of building one’s own house with minimum cost from limited resources they can acquire from their own land. Smart and simple systems can be installed (passive solar, gray water, rocket mass heater ...) that would allow them to benefit more from nature's abundance as an alternative to investing money and thus time to pay unnecessary bills. Our vision aims at making a difference while interacting with nature, by substituting nature’s exploitation with nature’s appreciation.You are always welcome to stay at ‘Li’ if you are volunteering for roughly five hours a day, depending on what we are working on. (Planting/picking season, eco-building, eco-farming, up cycling furniture …)

Min Beib La Beib (MBLB) was officially launched on December 19th, 2019 when the economic situation in Lebanon deteriorated and people were faced with an unexpected inflation. MBLB is run by a group of dedicated women who could not sit still and witness this developing crisis and saw the urge to act and help people on the ground. The purpose of this nonprofit is first and foremost to deliver necessary items to underprivileged families, after visiting them and evaluating their needs. At its inception, MBLB was running on a small budget. It collected used furniture and other necessary items delivering them to needy families from door to door without any expense on both ends. After the August 4th explosion, MBLB began accepting donations to purchase brand new furniture and appliances. This is because the demand for furniture and home appliances has grown dramatically and the supply of donors in kind within the country was no longer sufficient to meet these needs. Whenever possible, MBLB employs underprivileged individuals. Low skilled workers are hired to drive the delivery truck and help unload the items. Painters are hired for refurbishing and carpenters are paid to fix and install the items in the homes. This enables them to generate income and become self-sufficient. In 2021, MBLB will work closely with local craftsmen to develop an MBLB furniture line. Basic items such as closets, dining tables, chairs and sofas that can be easily customized depending on each family’s needs will carefully be designed at a relatively low cost. The idea is not to wait for in kind donations only but to have items ready and available at all times to fill the intensified demand for furniture and provide families with a decent home.

‘Paint Up!’ is the brainchild of co-founders Lana Chukri and Jubran Elias.

In developing this, their social enterprise and non-profit organization was born and began evolving into a living, breathing entity that resonated with artists, enterprises, and people worldwide.

We always like to represent ourselves as ‘Dihzahyners’, even in media and social coverage – as one of our main ideals is that nothing can be built and sustained without a team, as a whole.

Positive on Glucose initiated in June 2019 as a grassroots initiative that caters the needs of people living with diabetes, by people living with diabetes. The initial aim was to provide diabetics in Lebanon with regionally distributed support groups that provided aid and outreach in the area of their residence in collaboration with municipalities. The program was developed with the help of a T1D global advocacy organization called T1International which members of POG are also global advocates for. We did our first collaboration in October with a municipality in the South and then the revolution started and we were forced to put our activities on hold. We were determined to reach out to diabetics in need and thus with the outbreak of COVID in February in Lebanon we had an idea of going virtual with our support group. We launched our first Zoom on February 29th 2020 and we had people joining in not just from Lebanon, but also from places in the MENA. At Positive on Glucose we have a "everyone who needs support gets support" policy so we welcome everyone who wants to join the family. Following the Beirut Blast, we magnified our outreach efforts by providing people affected by the blast of having access to their diabetes medications. We created several campaigns and were able to supply almost 200 people with their vital needs such as insulin, test strips, syringes, pills, etc. Over the past year, we have also been able to participate in the WHO informal consultations for people living with diabetes. Our members have been able to represent the region and participate in the launch of the Global Compact for People Living with Diabetes, and speak up before heads of state and ministers of health (Canada, France, etc.) from around the world about the concerns and needs, ways to move forward and essentials to better the conditions for people living with diabetes.

Our base of coverage has grown to include people from all over Lebanon and we have guest members from all around the world including UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, France, UK, USA, and India.

The Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon – SPNL - is one of Lebanon’s oldest environmental NGOs. It was first established in 1983, and licensed by the Ministry of the Interior by decision no. 6/AD dated 8/1/1986. SPNL is the national partner for BirdLife International in Lebanon. It considers birds as entry points for the conservation of wider natural resources, as they act as key indicators of the status and health of ecosystems. Ever since its establishment in 1986, SPNL has advocated the establishment of protected areas and, in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment, worked to establish protected areas in Lebanon. After two decades of experience working with nature reserves through government agencies, SPNL is now reviving and advocating the Hima, a community based conservation approach that has been prevalent in the Arab region for more than 1500 years. SPNL has many years of experience in scientific research (mainly avifauna and biodiversity), education and awareness, advocacy and networking, and community development. As a national environmental NGO in Lebanon, SPNL has contributed a great deal to both raising awareness on environmental issues and concretely protecting natural areas in Lebanon. As a member of the World International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), SPNL helped develop the first biodiversity project in Lebanon, known as the Protected Areas Project. SPNL also established the Environment Information Center (EIC) that serves as a key resource for the provision of environmental information to students, teachers, and researchers in this field. As the BirdLife International partner for Lebanon, SPNL is engaged in bird conservation mainly through building capacities of protected areas managers from the whole country on bird identification; through the Important Bird Areas program that aims at identifying sites and habitats essential for bird conservation; and through conservation site action projects.
