• Education

• Women Empowerment

• Agriculture & Food

It is the third most productive sector in the country and it employs around 4% of the working population. Knowing that it is currently suffering and farmers are not being able to sustain their farms, Alissar will focus on this sector as it presents very important needs.

In the past years, Lebanon has faced difficulties concerning importation of food and resources to satisfy its people’s needs. Now is the time to set new rules. Alissar will fund entrepreneurial projects related to Agriculture (i.e: give funds to renew machines, give funds to expand production…).

It will also focus on local food and beverages production, which have the potential to create a circular economy and create jobs in different sector.
