Discover the Daam initiative implemented by LOST in partnership with Expertise France as part of RRM-Shabake II program and funded by AFD. This project is delving into the heart of Baalbeck El Hermel villages and bringing positive changes driven by the local community with 10 municipalities including each of Labwe, Toufiqiye, Makneh, Douris, Hawsh Tal Safiye, Boudai, Masnaa Al Zohra, Saaidi, Shlifa and Maaraboun.
Training for Empowerment
In the lively markets and peaceful neighborhoods, residents are stepping up as leaders. Over 115 municipality members have taken part in intensive training sessions, diving into topics like child protection, inclusion, and effective project planning. It’s been more than just learning; it’s been a journey of personal growth and empowerment, where individuals have discovered new strengths within themselves.
Finding Sustainable Solutions
The real magic of Daam unfolds in the everyday moments of action and collaboration. In a dynamic 7-week program, these empowered leaders have rolled up their sleeves to tackle real challenges. They’re exploring innovative solutions like using solar energy, finding smarter ways to manage waste, and improving essential community infrastructure. Each initiative is not just about solving problems but about creating a more sustainable and connected way of life.
Investing in Local Futures
Supporting these efforts is a vital investment. Every municipality will receive $10,000 to kickstart an initiative that addresses community needs and achieves critical goals such as improving water, sanitation, and hygiene, advancing solarization, or enhancing waste management. These funds are crucial for initiatives that bring neighborhoods closer together, whether it’s upgrading local infrastructure to ensure better water and sanitation, implementing solar energy solutions, or enhancing waste management systems to create a cleaner environment.
This isn’t just about projects, it’s about people. It’s about neighbors supporting each other, families dreaming of a better future, and communities coming together to build something meaningful. The Daam initiative is proof of the power of unity and the belief that when people come together with a shared purpose, incredible things can happen.
