APJ

In this short video we take a closer at the Lebanese NGO arcenciel, what they do and whom they help.

Since it was created in 1985, arcenciel’s mission in Lebanon has been to promote diversity, integration and development through 5 core programs that cover: Agriculture & Environment, Mobility & Health, Responsible Tourism, Youth Empowerment, and Social Support.

With the APJ’s support, in 2021 arcenciel helped 769 students go to school, versus 300-400 students in 2019-2020. This has been due to a dramatic growth in demand for financial aid as the Lebanese people face increasing challenges.

In 2020, we spoke with arcenciel’s director general, Robin Richa, about their work as well as his hopes for the future. You can read his interview here.
