Collaboration with Other Organisations
One of the basic methodologies of work used in the LCC is the networking.<br /> <br /> Thus, we had multiple contacts with organizations offering safe sheltering for victims (such as Maria & Martha, YWCA, Bon Pasteur, Mission de Vie, LEISWAD, AFFEL, Dar El Ghanem, SOS, Dar El Aytam Al Islamia, Mohammed Khaled Foundation) and organizations providing complementing services needed to best assisting victims which KAFA do not offer such as medical services, vocational training, food units?etc such as the Ministry Development Community Centers located in all over the Lebanese territory, UPEL, YWCA, Terre des Hommes, Voix de La Femme Libanaise, Makhzoumy Foundation, Hariri Foundation, AJEM, Dar El Amal, Caritas and others.<br /> <br /> The cooperation with our partners was and remains a very fruitful relationship in both ways and represents a vital need to successfully achieve the plan of action designed to each individual case.
