Sheild - Social, Humanitarian, Economical Intervention For Local Development

 SHEILD is a Lebanese association. The mission of SHEILD is to bring relief to the population in general and to those who suffered and still suffering from war and from the absence of governmental health and social care and protection in particular, through direct assistance as well as through community based interventions to enhance human rights and social awareness, economical conditions and protection for all community categories, following a participatory approach through involving local stakeholders and authorities in a system of coordination to assess needs and implement programs responding to these needs with the most vulnerable and deprived in the center of attention and focus.
 This approach is the vision that SHEILD adopts and designs its interventions and programs according to. SHEILD  started to work according to this methodology and it will continue to work according to this methodology. SHEILD aims at having an ideal community with all its categories protected and having equal attention, yet, this is not achievable within few years to come, but SHEILD's vision is to raise the level of protection as much as possible for those most neglected and to enforce governmental capacities to be able to respond to the needs through capacity building and fruitful partnerships.
