Enmaeya speaks with Rawan Hijazi, co-founder of MAAN, a youth-led initiative that began with a group of friends determined to support their communities in Lebanon.
What started as a collective effort to help those around them has grown into an initiative providing direct assistance to families and communities facing increasingly difficult circumstances. From food and essential support to relief efforts for families displaced by conflict, MAAN has mobilized young people, volunteers, donors, and local networks to respond where help is needed.
In this interview, Hijazi discusses how MAAN began, what motivates its work, the realities of responding to communities during times of crisis, and the role young people can play in creating meaningful change in Lebanon.
