Social Support and Housing

Our Mission

Social Support helps vulnerable populations in their struggle to integrate society
and personally develop within it..

 

The program has an employment office, a social support system and a network of clothing and furniture boutiques focused on integrating people back into society.

 

Since its creation in 1985, Social Support has engaged in field work that identifies community difficulties and provides customs solutions to targeted issues. It plans systematic emergency responses in communities to potential national instabilities.

History

  1. Community Based Rehabilitation

    One of Lebanon’s first ground-based assessments of community needs, arcenciel’s Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) program helps find targeted solutions to community concerns.

  2. Ceramic Workshop

    The ceramic workshop opens. It employs people with disabilities to create and sell hand-made ceramic products. It is one of Lebanon’s first running Social Enterprises.

  3. Launch of the Social Boutique

    The Social Boutique opens its doors to everyone. People can come in to shop for clothing and toys and pay whatever they can afford

  4. Aid to People Fleeing War

    With the onset and influx of Iraqi refugees, the Social Program begins providing crucial services to those fleeing from war. Since then, the program has been continuously providing aid to Lebanon’s vulnerable refugees.
