Supply of Foldable Tables

Introduction:

Michel Daher Social Foundation (MDSF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable communities in Lebanon. Operating across healthcare, social development, economic and human development, and community development, MDSF promotes resilience, sustainability, and social stability.

Background

The SALAM Project, funded by GIZ and implemented by MDSF, supports economic resilience and social cohesion in Southern Baalbek, West Bekaa, and Central Bekaa.
