Project Conclusion

Success Stories

Furn Ech Chebbak is a densely populated commercial and residential area with very little spaces available for children to gather and play safely.

UNDP - Live Lebanon implemented the rehabilitation of a football playground in Furn Ech Chebbak in March 2011, where children can now engage in recreational activities, build friendships and use their energy in a positive way.

The intervention took form in the provision of construction services for the renovation of the stadium and contributes to the overall wellbeing of 300 beneficiaries in Furn Ech Chebbak.

The comfortable recreational space serves for both sports and social activities as children and parents from diverse cultural backgrounds are now able to spend their time in a positive and healthy environment.

“Encouraging our kids to play football is very important. We would rather see them engaging in healthy activities than sitting at home on their phones all day”

This project was made possible through the generous contribution of Live Lebanon’s Goodwill Ambassador, Mr. Ghaleb Farha, who entirely funded the rehabilitation.
