What I have done for Lebanon

In the context where Lebanese leaders and communities have diverse standings and concerns, sustainable achievements are read in terms of inclusion, empowerment and peace.  

  • Bringing the women to the front line of the solution in a context where woman was viewed as passive problem. Thousands of orphans and vulnerable girls have been empowered to meet tangible opportunities and enjoy an entirely different life.
  • Promoting the concept of inclusion in terms of providing equal opportunities to all individuals irrespective of their race, color, sex, or social and ideological backgrounds. 
  • Defining and applying education as means for realizing the noble goals of equity, peace and affluence.
