WhatWhyHow
We are a non-profit that is venturing to benefit the country and its different communities! At Ticket for Change Lebanon, Bitaka, we believe hope for a better social, economic, and environmental situation in Lebanon starts with those who dare to dream and dream all over again. Do we call ourselves resilient? A topic of discussion. We grieve, we denounce, we might even yield sometimes. And we take action to change our reality.
Our Movement For Impact
In our reality, 70% of young people in the country want to emigrate. We are alarmed by the failure of our education system, a system that has always been our strength and our hope. We also refuse that the current solutions to help the 80% of the population below the poverty line depend on international aid. We have lived the rapid and tragic destruction of Lebanon, some of us from the country and some from the diaspora. We refuse to give up on Lebanon, wherever we are. We have decided to start rebuilding a country that models our values. Together with you, we will have the expertise, and diversity to make sure dreams are possible.
We Dare to Dream
We are a School… A school for changemakers whose mission is to inspire and support actors of change in the creation of solidarity initiatives that have an impact in their communities.
Hope, Solidarity, Justice
Our ambition is to create an economically prosperous and equitable Lebanon.
