Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, people across the globe had the chance to step back and realize that life is actually much simpler than the one we are all living. While confined in our village Deir Mimas during the Covid-19 lock-down, we also realized something that we always knew: our Lebanese villages are full of treasures yet to be re-discovered.

This is where the idea of “From The Villages”came from, one that is grounded in the issues at hand, and with solidarity among Lebanese at its heart. We are making the treasures of our villages available and accessible to consumers in Beirut, and soon in other cities as well.

By doing so, we achieve two high-impact and vital objectives:

(i) we support sustainable household income in rural areas.

(ii) we make available good quality products at affordable prices to consumers in Beirut, something that abruptly became difficult to find.

We started with 6 villages in South of Lebanon, and with 24 artisans and farmers (Amal, Asma, Dana, Esper, Fadia, Fahime, Fidaa, Ghattas, Halloun, Jean, Tania H, Helwe, Jouhaina, Leila, Mansour, Mona, Nassima, Nohad, Rima, Safaa, Therese, Tania, Wafaa, Walid). We are planning to expand to other villages despite the limited but talented and passionate resources we have. The challenge is big but the humanitarian reward is even bigger. Solidarity is the only way forward!
