Our Foundation WRF has been implementing programs in nearly all areas of rehabilitation and through virtually all types of rehabilitation service providers, giving hope and help to people in Lebanon since early 1970s. Our preliminary programs mainly involved training activities and material assistance. Later programs involved both technical and material assistance in all fields of rehabilitation and social welfare. In June 1987, WRF inaugurated its local office in Lebanon and was later registered as a local organization by official decree from the Lebanese Council of Ministers. With time, experience, and availability of resources, WRF-Lebanon has expanded its programs and activities, leading so far to a track record of five major programs, several pilot projects, as well as helping more than 220 local agencies to provide services for thousands of disadvantaged individuals.
