Providing a generator for the village of Marwaheen

The village of Marwaheen does not possess a generator and it is only powered for short hours. The shortage in electricity, which is around 18 hours a day, handicaps the residents’ daily activities and prevents them from living a normal life. This is affecting the standard of living of the residents. The generator that was used by the municipality for 12 years became out of date and is no more functioning.

To solve this problem the houses use small generators that cause environmental problems as well as sound pollution and large expenses of the maintenance and fuel. Upon the request of our GWA a field visit was conducted by Live Lebanon to check on the suggested projects by this municipality and prioritize the needs.

Eventually, Live Lebanon team found out that this is one of the needed projects. The procurement of a generator for Marwaheen will allow the municipality to provide the residents with long hours of power, which will allow them to improve their way of living.

Project Conclusion

Success Stories

The electricity shortage is a national problem in Lebanon, and in many areas, residents are forced to generate their own electricity which comes at a high price, both financially and on the environment.

18 hours of darkness per day negatively affected the lives of people in the village of Marwaheen in Tyr. The municipality power generator was old and out of order, so the residents of the southern village had to find alternate solutions to generate their own electricity whenever possible. This was a costly inefficient undertaking that they shouldn’t have to endure under normal circumstances.

In June 2014, Live Lebanon, with the generous contribution of its Goodwill Ambassadors Mr. Fadi Salameh was able to, within the context of the Prosperous Lebanon Campaign, provide the village with a large generator, benefiting 3,000 inhabitants.

Bringing electricity to Marwaheen, has contributed to the welfare of the villagers by reducing pollution, lowering living expenses, and reducing other losses resulting from the long hours of power outages.
