Main Projects / Activities

MAIN ACTS AND ACTIVITIES OF THE ASSOCIATION
The “Family and Child” actions focus initially on the coverage of the basic survival needs of a family. This is accomplished by providing them with food, cooked meals, breakfast, all sorts of clothing and footwear and utility items. Next the association aims at strengthening the parents and mobilizing them so that they become able to integrate into the labor market. To achieve this goal the association arranges free foreign languages lessons and craft workshops in order to enrich the CVs of the members. While at the same time it has created a special room with technical equipment to educate them on how to write and email a CV. Additionally, it schedules career orientation seminars where parents are informed about subsidized programs, jobs and their requirements. Meanwhile the association is aware of the crisis that our society faces which directly affects the mood of the parents and in turn it disturbs family harmony. Hence it takes care of their psychosocial condition by supporting them through parent counseling so that they become capable of managing the difficulties they encounter without letting stress be reflected on their children.
Furthermore, the association supports even more vulnerable social groups such as elderly, people with disabilities, people with addictions, immigrants, homeless etc. This takes shape through the collaborations that the association develops with other organizations, as well as through the external actions that it systematically schedules. Distributing food to homeless people, providing emergency supplies to individuals being in addiction cessation programs, organizing career orientation seminars in order to inform unemployed people, offering sanitary goods to correctional institutions, clothing and footwear to hosting centers for immigrants and providing food to the Mess are only some of the “Family and Child” actions.
Concluding, “Family and Child” association aims at informing and sensitizing our fellowmen, the organizations and generally the society for the benefit of the individuals being in need. This is accomplished by using the internet, through speeches to the members of the society (e.g. school speeches) and events where local community can actively participate.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The charitable association “Family and Child” is active for three years now, having human prosperity as its main goal.   It develops its foundations and actions always based on the new requirements that arise in our society. It is not characterized by a sterile perception but the association is open to new ideas and it can offer its knowledge and experience in the interest of the common good. Its experience in topics that concern human existence and its needs, which tend to alter and evolve in their own way based on the new facts, could contribute to the level of the actions’ effectiveness of the National network of Anna Lindh Foundation .

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

After a thorough consideration of the objectives and actions of Anna Lindh foundation, we acknowledge its significant work and we desire to actively participate in its actions. “Family and Child” is an association that supports individuals that are in need regardless of race, religion, ideology, political and cultural beliefs. It respects human existence and it promotes social wellbeing, by fighting for human rights and equal opportunities. It is significant, that first as individuals – members of the society and then as conveyors of a “message”, to take part in acts and programs that propel multiculturalism, coexistence, piece, dialogue, social change and social welfare.
As an organization, we take action in a country that struggles due to the financial and social plight while immigration has its own story with young people abandoning our country when at the same time others immigrate here for a “better tomorrow”. Therefore it is our responsibility to comprehend that human existence is a matter of primary importance.  Being united and work as a team can lead to great results for the wellbeing of human race while exchanging ideas and experiences can contribute to the formation of constructive acts.
“Family and Child” association has the ideology and the way of thinking that is in line with the goal that Anna Lindh Foundation has, that is why we are interested in participating in the National Network of this Foundation.

Strategy Three: Emergency Relief
The volatile situation in Syria has led to an increase in the number of Palestine refugees fleeing to Lebanon, now approximately 57,000 individuals (7 June 2013). In Lebanon, Palestine refugees from Syria are dispersed in Saida (30 per cent), northern Lebanon (15 per cent), Beqa’a (23 per cent), central Lebanon Area (17 per cent) and Tyre (15 per cent). Especially since Yarmouk camp, Syria’s biggest Palestinian refugee camp, became battle ground for the two groups in December 2012, there has been a large increase in Palestinians fleeing Syria. So far, Palestine refugees, and the PLO, have taken a neutral political stance and are not partaking in the fighting.
PARD decided to get involved in the relief operation for those refugee families in July 2012. At the beginning, PARD took the following actions:
The team of PARD conducted a new rapid needs assessment to define the basic needs of those families.
The team of PARD visited all the refugees in the targeted areas (Beirut & the South) for new statistics regularly.
The team of PARD contacted certain donors to obtain support for implementing relief projects for the welfare of the targeted refugees.
The beneficiaries stated their problems and numerated their needs which were recorded in the needs assessment report. The priority needs requested by the people included:
-          Primary health care (through clinics and first aid services)
-          Food items support
-          Non food items support
-          WASH activities and Health Education (on health subjects related to personal and general hygiene, scabies, head lice, water pollution, food preservation, measles, breastfeeding, and nutrition)
-          Shelter rehabilitation and building
In Beirut, PARD targeted 70 children (aged 4 to 6 years) through establishing a kindergarten for them.
This kindergarten is divided into 3 grades (KG1 for 4 years, KG2 for 5 years, KG3 for 6 years).
A team of 3 teachers, 3 teacher assistants, 1 coordinator,
1 psychosocial assistant, and a cleaning lady operate this KG.
The KG started in October 2012 till June 2013.
In July- August 2013, the same children joined
summer activities organized by PARD. The same
project restarted in September 2013 and will continue
until June 2014.
In addition to the activities in the KG, 65 children aged
from 7 till 12 years attended education support and
extra curriculum activities 5 days per week in the afternoons.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

PARD has the capacity to implement community projects within the vulnerable Lebanese and Palestinian communities in Beirut and South Lebanon.

General Information
Le Festival PHOTOMED est le festival de la photographie Méditerranéenne. Son ambition est de mettre en exergue à travers le langage universel de la photographie les valeurs que nous partageons entre Méditerranéens, au delà de nos différences. La ligne éditoriale est la photographie Méditerranéenne pour lequel soit le sujet soit l'auteur doit être Méditerranéen, présentant des sujets artistiques non documentaires, éloignés des clichés du rêve Méditerranéen (les vacances des Européens) ou du drame (Guerres, mgratiions ...) Chaque année le festival, sis à Sanary et Toulon, invite un pays différent, soit dans l'ordre chronologique: Turquie, Maroc, Liban, Italie, Espagne et en 2016 Tunisie. Le festival est ensuite organisé dans le pays partenaire. Depuis 3 ans, il existe avec succès à Beyrouth. Les dirigeants du festival sont très expérimentés et depuis longtemps dans le mileu de la photographie couvrant les champs artistiques, medias et entreprises ainsi que l'organisation d'evénéments..
