Improve the quality of life of people living with FA in Lebanon through a holistic support program.
FALA is the result of the efforts and dedication of a group of scout alumni, Anciens Scouts et Guides Saint Joseph Antoura – ASG. Every scout grows up with the belief of always giving without expecting anything in return, and that’s how ASG members, even years after leaving the active scout association, still gather every Christmas to plan and organize a social and humanitarian initiative.
In 2017, a special flavor was added to this annual get together: in addition to spending Christmas with people living in underserved areas, ASG committee, through the generous contribution of various individuals, was able to support two families that have children living with FA. Choosing this disease in particular was not a coincidence.
Marianne Hakim, an active member of ASG, has been living with FA for more than 10 years now. Because of Marianne’s strong willingness to overcome all physical and societal challenges, we, ASG, decided to take this path hand-in-hand with Marianne, and turned this small initiative into a well-defined mission through the establishment of FALA.
