Principles

The Programs of Amel Association are implemented on three different levels:

- Programs of services: All the medical, social and educational services are offered in a permanent manner to the population for symbolic fees, based on a participatory approach. Amel describes these services as "better and cheaper.”

- Development Programs: This relates to the continuation of an evolution from emergency action to development activities in the most deprived areas in Lebanon, by working with the population and for the population. Though this is a complex and challenging process, Amel is loyal to it.

- Sensitization Programs on Civic Rights: This takes place through holding sensitization sessions about the importance of national unity and promoting democratic values.
