Music Instrument Tools

Michel Daher Social Foundation (MDSF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of
vulnerable communities in Lebanon. MDSF operates across four pillars: healthcare, social development,
economic and human development, and community development and sustainable livelihoods. Through
its programs, MDSF promotes resilience, sustainability, and social stability by addressing the needs of
individuals, communities, and local enterprises.

Background
Salam Project, implemented by MDSF and funded by GIZ, aims to foster economic resilience and social
stability in Southern Baalbek, West Bekaa, and Central Bekaa. The Takallam Social Center is a dedicated

challenges, providing therapy, counseling, and psychological aid for both children and parents. A key
component of the project focuses on transforming the Takallam Center into a hub for psychosocial
services and community activities. The music therapy initiative seeks to empower youth and adolescents
to lead change in their communities by addressing psychosocial needs, fostering self-expression, and
building skills for advocacy and career development.
