Video - A story from Akkar, Lebanon

Mr. Joseph Daher Increases Wine Production in His Factory with A Contribution from MECC

With the deterioration of economic and social conditions in Lebanon, the Akkar region was not immune from the crises that cast their shadow over the country. Therefore, the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC), Diakonia and Social Service Department, Lebanon Office, seeks to support the people of Akkar, as well as other Lebanese regions, by implementing a business development program for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in order to help their owners face the daily challenges and ensure a long-term sustainability for their projects.

In the video, Mr. Joseph Daher, owner of a winery in the Andaket-Akkar region, describes the phases he went through in order to establish his project, and how, through the support of MECC, he was able to increase his production.
