Founded by Syrians based in Lebanon, Basmeh & Zeitooneh is an entirely volunteer force that helps Syrian refugees that are in the neighboring country. They focus their efforts on regions that has Syrians that are in the most dire need.
“The volunteers [have] succeeded in building up trustworthy relations with the refugees through their regular visits and their individual initiatives, which later on became streamlined and led to the establishment of Basmeh & Zeitooneh.”
Today, the organization hosts embroidery workshops for women refugees, and more recently organized a gesture of gratitude to Lebanon from Syrian child refugees who cleaned up the Shatila refugee camp in Lebanon.
