About the project:

Basmeh & Zeitooneh is embarking on the second cycle of the Fostering Refugee Leadership Project (FRL) in Lebanon. The aim is to empower Refugees-Led Organizations (RLOs), Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to take charge of their community's future by identifying problems, needs, and implementing tailored solutions.

To reach this aim, we are currently looking for trainers to facilitate and contribute to the organization training sessions and workshops for the FRL Project.
