OUR PROJECTS
What we cook, and what grows around it
Two ongoing programmes, in the Bekaa and in Beirut, the emergency kitchens our communities ran when war came, and the projects that came before.
Running now

Tha’irat
A women-led relief kitchen serving over 70,000 meals a year, Saturday sessions on rights and mental health, and Safe Spaces over tea.
