Implemented under Shabake2, the RISE project supported 45 vulnerable women in Saadnayel and Qab Elias through vocational training in crochet-making and marketing. Delivered in a safe community space, the project combined skills development with practical guidance on home-based and online sales, helping women strengthen their economic autonomy and household stability.

💧 Clean water, stronger livelihoods

Our partner Leb Relief worked with communities in North Lebanon to tackle two urgent needs: access to safe water and better economic opportunities.

🌊 The team rehabilitated water-treatment stations, improved chlorination practices, and shifted facilities to solar power, helping reduce waterborne risks and easing the cost of electricity for local operators.

👷‍♀️ At the same time, trainings and paid work opportunities offered young women and men practical skills and a chance to support their families during a very challenging period.

🤝 By involving residents throughout the process, the project strengthened local ownership and helped lay the groundwork for solutions that can last beyond the project itself.
