‘Sanabel el Nour’ initiative by Tripoli women to help the needy

An Nahar daily highlighted in its issue of today the endeavor by a group of Northern women from various walks of life who work with great discretion to ‘help the weak, be a child or an elderly’. Rida Sayadi Dsouki, chief of Sanabel el Nour, boasted the early beginnings of the association, saying: “Each one of us used to give LBP 5 thousand every month and visit needy families and supply them with the monthly ‘mouneh’ provisions.” The main work of Sanabel el Nour, as stated in the association’s booklet, focuses on the following areas: activating civil society, helping orphan children, the elderly and people with special needs inside their homes, providing health care for disadvantaged households and individuals, supporting students financially and pursuing social charity activities.
