Social services program
Since its creation, ADR has tried to improve the social and
cultural situations
of the poorest people in the south through
various projects and funds.
In
November 2002, a protocol of decentralized cooperation was
signed between the
Provence, Alpes, Côtes
d'Azur regions
in France (PACA), ADR, and twenty-one municipalities in south
Lebanon.
In
Tyre, ADR is helping the Baqa fishermen’s cooperative build
eighty housing units for poor fishing families.
ADR
has also carried out awareness campaigns on civil rights and
provided support to social and training centres in refugee
camps.
Its
solidarity fund can provide medical and educational assistance
for very poor people.
