ESTIMATED COST $30,000
DESCRIPTION
The accessible bus is needed to facilitate transportation to and from arcenciel centers in Taanayel, benefitting several of our vulnerable communities every day:
- Disabled children could be transported from their homes to arcenciel’s integrated day care center in Taanayel where all children between the ages of 0 and 3 are welcomed. Young children play and explore in a non-discriminatory and diverse environment that fosters learning and growth.
- Disabled refugees could travel from their camps to arcenciel’s center giving them access to our extended social and healthcare services, including paramedical assistance (physiotherapy, psychomotor, and speech therapy), dental care, prosthetics (orthopedic prostheses and hearing aids), and technical aids (custom-made orthopedic shoes, wheelchairs, walkers, walking canes, etc). Refugees would also have access to the “social boutique” where they can find much needed clothing and toys.
- Vulnerable women could have easy access to arcenciel’s Agnes Varis Women Empowerment Center, a specialized center in Taanayel with a goal to empower women in the Bekaa region of Lebanon. The center works to enhance women’s economic independence and improve their socio-economic conditions by developing their skills and their competences in different fields for the long term.
