Emkan’s development
was based on best practices derived from multiple sectors, to be able to cover
its wide array of activities. Our organization grows and adapts constantly as
it includes fluidity and resiliency as part of its foundational pillars.

In light of the worsening economic crisis in
Lebanon, scarce work opportunities, the decline of the Lebanese currency,
inflation, port blast, absence of government, consecutive natural and manmade
disasters, fuel and basic goods crisis, and the Covid-19 crisis, Lebanon is
witnessing its most tragic era and decline. More than 75% of the entire
population are below the poverty, food prices soared by more than 600% while
the minimum wage fell below 50 USD. In response, Emkan & Beirut for Social
Development launched a wide charitable activity aimed at helping the people of
Lebanon in all available means and fields.
