  • The earth is our home, protect it

    arcenciel believes in spreading environmental awareness by working on protecting Lebanon’s natural resources. In all its initiatives, arcenciel aims for sustainable economic development, for the benefit of present and future generations.

  • Don’t ‘DIS’ my ABILITY

    arcenciel believes that every person, no matter the gravity of his or her disability, should be fully respected, and is totally capable of contributing to the diversity and richness of society. arcenciel focuses on integrating these individuals by assisting them on a socio-economic level and by providing them with a much needed support.

  • Different colors, same light

    arcenciel seeks to reintegrate marginalized and at risk people back into the greater community. Why, because arcenciel ardently believes diversity and differences enrich, cultivate and improve society!

  • With and for every person in difficulty

    arcenciel serves people ‘at risk’ and enables them to become productive and independent members of society, who in turn help others ‘at risk’. This model allows arcenciel’s investment in each marginalized person to exponentially grow, and then helped persons thereafter help others.

Welcome

Welcome to arcenciel. We are a Lebanese based non-profit NGO, which supports Lebanon’s most underprivileged and marginalized communities, regardless of religion, political affiliation or nationality.
Since its inception in 1985, arcenciel’s mission in Lebanon has been to promote diversity, integration and development through 5 core programs: Agriculture & Environment, Mobility & Health, Responsible Tourism, Youth Empowerment, and Social Support.

We welcome everyone to use our site as a tool to participate, together, for the betterment of those in our society who are in need, marginalized and at risk.
