General Information

The 100 Readers Initiative, established in 2019 by a sole founder (myself), and has recently expanded its team by employing two new members: 1- Firas Khalifeh, a media presenter specializing in media and currently having his TV program (شارع الحمرا) focusing on cultural and reading content, and 2- Nancy Hussein, she’s an engineer with expertise in technical development and three additional majors necessary to our project.

The initiative was initially funded by personal savings after I returned from the Gulf where I worked as a teacher for around seven years. It prioritizes fostering a culture of reading and facilitating cross-cultural dialogue among youth in the Arab region. Operating as a community-focused endeavor, the online bookstore offers affordable books to incentivize reading.

Due to funding challenges in parallel with the current situation in Lebanon, the initiative temporarily halted its activities. However, with a growing demand from readers and recognition of its significance in bridging cultural divides, the initiative is seeking urgent funding to revitalize its operations and expand its impact.

Mission and Objectives

The mission of the 100 Readers Initiative is to cultivate a vibrant reading culture and promote intercultural understanding among youth in the Arab region. Our primary objective is to empower individuals to embrace the enriching world of literature, fostering dialogue, empathy, and critical thinking skills essential for personal and societal growth.

Through our online bookstore, we aim to make quality literature accessible to readers at affordable prices, thereby removing barriers to entry and encouraging widespread engagement with books. We seek to spark a passion for reading and lifelong learning, recognizing the transformative power of literature in shaping minds and shaping societies.

Furthermore, we strive to bridge cultural divides by facilitating exchanges and conversations around literature, promoting mutual respect and appreciation for diverse perspectives. By leveraging technology and partnerships, we aim to expand our reach and impact, connecting readers across borders and fostering a sense of community united by a shared love for reading and learning.

To gain a deeper understanding of our objectives and our roadmap to reach a million readers in Arab countries, we invite you to visit our Facebook post announcing the launch of the initiative in 2019 by visiting the following link:

General Information

Koun, meaning "be" in Arabic, is a Lebanese non-governmental organization whose mission is to promote mental health, empowerment and peace in marginalized communities in Lebanon through yoga and mindfulness.

Koun works with refugees, migrant workers, economically marginalized Lebanese, LGBTQI+ community, visually impaired individuals and other vulnerable communities from different ages starting the age of 6.

The NGO was legally registered on January 16, 2020, has 12 board members and is women-led. It doesn't have full-time employees, only project-based consultants and volunteers.
In 2022, Koun decided to be as self-sustainable as possible so right now we only have two core fundings from "Global Fund for Women" and "Women Win" that cover the rent of our safe space in Beirut and other running cost. In parallel, we run paid yoga classes, workshops and courses in the space and use their revenue to fund our free community programs.

To ensure sustainability, we train women from marginalized communities in teaching trauma-informed yoga and help them run their own classes in their community.

Mission and Objectives

Instagram Page:https://www.instagram.com/labantheater/

Mission and Objectives

Our Mission
Laban is a non-profit civil organisation that was legally established in 2009. We specialise in cultural, artistic, and theater interventions. We believe that these interventions are a social need. This belief has driven us to create space for communication, discussion, and expression that allows members to express their reality without judgment or restriction.

We practice this belief through:
Improvised Theater and its various forms
Playback Theater
Puppet Playback Theater
Theater of the Oppressed
Drama therapy
Expressive Arts
X-Games
Art-based Creative Thinking

We also often explore and use other interactive theatrical and artistic tools to create safe spaces for dialogue, storytelling, and improvisation. We aim to contribute to advancing civic engagement, promoting freedom of expression, and increasing empathic bonds within and between different communities in Lebanon.

The different forms of theater are used in local communities, schools, universities, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, prisons, and many other settings. The topics can vary from social, political, psychological, or any other emerging themes, with high flexibility in using our formats to cater to the topics and the hosting community.

Our Vision
We strive to build a society that encompasses hope, acceptance, and social justice while guiding our community to freely elevate their imagination and self-expression and criticise their reality with no restriction or fear.

Main Projects / Activities

Choose Love: Laban implemented 24 playback theatre performances in Palestinian and Syrian refugee camps, targeting Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese, working on social cohesion between refugees and hosting communities. ( 1 year project 2022)

UNDP- VFC-South of Lebanon: Laban implemented 40 activities ( World Cafe, Playback performances, Forum Theater performances, NVC and image theatre workshops and film screening) in 8 different areas in south Lebanon, reaching 1600 beneficiaries. The main objective of this project was to introduce alternative ways of communication between students, teachers and parents. (6 months project 2023)

UNDP-Living of Al Quarantina: Our partnership with UNDP after the Beirut Blast, working with 250 children from Al-Quarantina neighbourhood, with a series of expressive art workshops for self-expression, collective trauma healing. Using art therapy and drama therapy techniques. (1 year project, 2021)

Forum ZFD-OUBOUR project: we have successfully conducted a series of puppet playback theatre performances with 650 children in different schools with a series of expressive art workshops in collaboration with Forum ZFD. This experience has enriched our understanding of how artistic and theatrical techniques can be effectively utilised as tools for engagement, empowerment, and self-expression. (5 years project, 2019-2023)

Basmeh&Zeitooneh: Collaborations with Basmeh&Zeitooneh have involved a diverse range of activities designed for 400 children, including competitive activities, storytelling, music creation, storytelling, dance, and more. These engagements have equipped us with a versatile set of tools and approaches for engaging and nurturing the growth of children in various contexts. (2 days event 2023)

MCC: Collaborations with MCC (Mennonite Central Committee), have involved a diverse range of activities designed for 200 refugee and hosting communities’ children, including theatre, storytelling, music, dance and art plastic. (3 years project, 2023-2025)

Amel Association: Laban had many collaborations with Amel association in many projects,
Laban in 2023 implemented 6 programs of creative thinking, the main objective was to work with humanitarians and teachers to create a new tool (Mobile application, Book…) that can be used to raise awareness on Gender-Based Violence.

Fighters for peace: the collaboration started with series of playback performances “War stories” than developed to implementation of X-games (a demonstrative activity that tackles the extremism and its effects) and an exploratory scripted play “Safe not Sound” that looks at the concept of accountability in the light of the Lebanese civil war. (2016 till 2024).

University of Brunel “Narratives from the margins: motherhood in refuge” :The project initiated with a playback theater training and later expanded into conducting drama therapy sessions at the Chatila camp in Beirut. Initially targeting 20 Syrian refugee women, the program delved into themes such as motherhood in the midst of war and life in refugee camps, as well as the journey of women navigating the refugee experience. Subsequent to the drama therapy program, a scripted play was developed, inspired by the personal narratives of these women. To enhance empowerment, the women underwent training to individually present their stories on stage before an audience, signifying the culmination of their drama therapy journey. The script was already translated into english and is in the process of being disseminated across universities worldwide, for the project to reach its objectives wider, debunking mass media narratives on refugees and women.

Amel Association: Name of the project “Heroes of Change” Across various regions in Lebanon, including Beka'a, South, and Beirut, our initiative has successfully implemented six drama therapy programs. These programs specifically catered to marginalized women and girls who are refugees, as well as members of the hosting communities. Despite diverse backgrounds, these individuals share common experiences of being marginalized women, each grappling with unique challenges evolving around discrimination, abuse and GBV, some of the participants were at protection shelters, others resided at home. Through these programs, participants openly shared their stories, expressing their struggles, pain, dreams, and moments of happiness. The transformative impact of the drama therapy sessions is evident as these individuals not only learned to articulate their experiences but also gained awareness of their rights and discovered avenues for empowerment. The outcome of these sessions were short plays, readings, short movies and a booklet documenting these stories and sharing them within the local community to raise sensitivity and awareness on women's mental health.

Abaad: “Jina Al Dar” project : Over the past three years, our community-driven project has successfully executed a series of 100 playback theater performances, reaching out to over 3,600 Syrian refugees and marginalized Lebanese women in various camps and villages across Lebanon. Our initiative involves actively listening to their narratives and skillfully reenacting them on stage, with a particular emphasis on addressing issues related to gender-based violence and promoting women's empowerment. Our intervention happens as part of a holistic approach led by Abaad team on awareness sessions and workshops targeting the same groups. the Playback performance allows the team of Abaad to assess the needs of the group and create comfort in addressing topics such as SRHR and GBV.

General Information

هي منظمة غير حكومية ناشئة تأسست في طرابلس، شمال لبنان. منذ نشأتها، انطلقنا في فكرتنا الفريدة والرائدة بسبب المعاناة والظروف الصعبة والأزمات التي تواجهها مجتمعاتنا. لقد سعينا جاهدين إلى تعزيز دورنا الفاعل ومساهمتنا في مساعدة المجتمعات والأسر ذات الدخل المنخفض على التغلب على الفقر والبطالة. ومن خلال تمكين ودعم النساء في المشاريع الإنسانية الحيوية، نهدف إلى تعزيز مهاراتهم وتوفير الفرص الاقتصادية المناسبة لهم، وتمكينهم من الاعتماد على أنفسهم، ومساعدتهم في بناء دورهم الفعال في المجتمع.
إثر الظروف الصعبة والمعاناة التي يعيشها الشعب اللبناني، تم تأسيس هذه المنظمة على يد مجموعة من الفتيات اللبنانين عام 2019، وتم تسجيلها رسمياً عام 2020 تحت رقم 1153. ومن خلال الجهود والمبادرات الإنسانية، عملنا بلا كلل على تخفيف المعاناة من خلال تقديم المساعدات الفعالة والمباشرة، وتحسين حياة الفئات المهمشة، وتنفيذ المشاريع الإنسانية والتنموية للنساء ، لتمكينهم وتعزيز دورهم الفاعل في المجتمع.
في منظمة الأيدي الرائدة، لدينا حاليًا ما مجموعه 16 نساء متفانيات وموهوبات المساهمة بمهاراتهم وخبراتهم في مهمتنا. بالإضافة إلى هؤلاء النساء الرائعات، هناك 2 رجال يتمتعون بنفس القدر من الكفاءة والالتزام، ويشكلون معًا جزءًا لا يتجزأ من فريقنا ، - علاوة على ذلك، نحن فخورون بالاعتراف بالمساهمات القيمة التي قدمها 33 شخصًا المتطوعات اللاتي يقدمن وقتهن وطاقتهن بسخاء لدعم مبادراتنا. هُم يلعب التفاني والعاطفة دورًا حاسمًا في نجاح مشاريعنا. أحد الجوانب البارزة في ثقافة منظمتنا هو أن جميع النساء العاملات في Leading Hands كذلك تشارك بنشاط في عملية صنع القرار.
