Salam LADC: Green Roof
2022 Community Micro-grant Winner
Central Bekaa, Lebanon
Lebanese Association for Development and Communication (LADC), Giulia Cingolani Green
Green Roof is creating a rooftop garden at the LADC community center. This garden will support the local community, including the 99% of Syrian refugees in Lebanon that are considered food insecure. 73% of Syrian households spend the majority of their monthly income on food, and consumption of important nutrients is at an all-time low.
Produce from the garden will be used to provide nutritious snacks for the 600 students attending regular classes at the community center and any excess food will be distributed to local families in need.
