I would like to present to you the Makhzoumi Foundation, established in February 1997 and founded by Mr Fouad Makhzoumi, who had a vision larger than a dream. He surrounded himself with a dedicated team, whom hand in hand worked hard to make that dream become a reality.

We at the Foundation have set our hopes high on achieving our mission and are working relentlessly to reach our vision.

Our Mission is working to reach a wide spectrum of the Lebanese population and guide them to prepare them selves for a better life by taking responsibility of their education enhancement, self responsibility and independence as well as encouraging them to reserve the environment and take preventive measures for good health care.

We have structured our programs in the hope that this will lead us to reach our vision, which is to have more literacy and IT experience to be able to ride the globalisation tide, contribute to the economical growth of Lebanon by having young entrepreneurs and new businesses created in trade, small industries and agricultural fields and spreading awareness regarding lots of important issues.

We have had this vision long before the United Nations Millennium Declaration signed in September 2000.Amongst the issues that the declaration tackles which is our concern here is the Development and Poverty Eradication, on national & international bases.

Mrs. MAY MAKHZOUMI

The UN has resolved amongst other resolutions:

- To promote gender equality and the empowerment of women as effective ways to combat poverty, hunger and disease and to stimulate development that is truly sustainable. (THIS IS WHAT WE DO AT THE FOUNDATION through training at Civic Centres, Micro credit, Awareness workshops, that have over 75 % female beneficiaries)

- To develop and implement strategies that give young people everywhere a real chance to find decent & productive work. (THIS IS WHAT WE DO AT THE FOUNDATION through our Civic Centres program through vocational training)

- To ensure that the benefits of new technologies, especially information & communication technologies is available to all (WE PROVIDE THAT THROUGH our Civic Centres’ computer literacy and advanced courses).

The UN also signed on protecting our own environment, which I am pleased to say that the Foundation is contributing to. (The FOUNDATION DOES THAT, through the Environmental and Agriculture program).

Last but not least I am proud to say that we are the first NGO in Lebanon to acquire the ISO 9001:2000. We applied in June 2003, passed the requirements in Dec 2003 and received the certificate in February 2004. I am pleased to say we are still holding the certification to date.

I am pleased also to announce that our certificates are accredited Microsoft and that we are a member of Microsoft IT Academy Program & a Microsoft Office Specialist Authorized Testing Center.

Wishing you all the best and hoping that we meet one day in a good cause contributing to the welfare of Lebanon & the Lebanese people.

Best regards

MAY MAKHZOUMI
PRESIDENT
