Abir El Hajj Rizk
Beitouna cooperative
Abir is a co-founder of the Beitouna cooperative in the Nabaa neighbourhood of Beirut helping people who relocated there.
Thanks to her closeness to families and her mobilisation skill, she encouraged parents to enrol their children in group activities and motivated young people to join the ‘shabibeh’ youth group. Along with other neighbourhood volunteers, she helped lead weekly activities for children and youth.
Together with the people in the neighbourhood, Abir organised many Beitouna events including inspirational observances of October 17th bringing togetherness, joy and hope to the community.
