Improving the lives of the Lebanese people.
Our vision
We work toward a stronger, more united Lebanon that meets its people’s most critical needs while addressing longer-term challenges, ultimately ensuring its lasting prosperity, stability, and cohesion.
Our mission
Our mission is simple: to improve the lives of the Lebanese people.
We partner with and support local organizations that address Lebanon’s most challenging issues at the grassroots level. We believe in One Lebanon – home to a storied people and a rich legacy of communal coexistence. Our work focuses on three overarching goals:
Advancing stability and social cohesion
Restoring the environment
Assisting the poor and marginalized
Our story
On American shores, Lebanese immigrants have set deep roots, becoming pillars of their new communities, sharing their famed culture, embracing American values, and never forgetting where they came from. Empower Lebanon was founded by Dr. Joe Khalil and a group of proud Lebanese-Americans who are passionate about giving back to their country of birth.
