Live Love Lebanon
Live Love began as a hashtag (#LIVELOVEBEIRUT) and bracelet aimed at building community spirit and positivity to help people in Lebanon stand up to mounting social challenges. It has since formalised into a social enterprise running community programmes spanning recycling, clean-ups, and humanitarian aid. Several overseas volunteering chapters have been inspired by Live Love.
