À propos de arcenciel
Founded in 1985, arcenciel is one of Lebanon’s most established social organisations, combining non-profit programs with revenue-generating enterprises. It works across sectors including health, mobility, agriculture, environment, tourism and social integration, using its own commercial activities to sustain its wider mission. This blend of business and charity has made arcenciel a reference point for social enterprise in the country.
Through its agricultural centre in Taanayel and other sites, arcenciel produces and sells dairy, wine, honey, mouneh and handicrafts, while its mobility program manufactures and distributes wheelchairs. Its environmental arm handles medical and hazardous waste treatment, and its social programs support marginalised groups. Income from these ventures is reinvested into the organisation’s development work.
Pourquoi arcenciel compte
arcenciel montre comment une organisation engagée peut financer son impact social grâce à sa propre production commerciale plutôt qu’en comptant uniquement sur les dons. Ses produits agricoles, son artisanat et ses aides à la mobilité portent un message d’inclusion, tandis que ses services de traitement des déchets protègent la santé publique. En près de quatre décennies, elle est devenue un pilier durable de la société civile et du développement durable au Liban.
