History
The sad and tragic events that killed many in Lebanon during the Civil War, brought several individuals together who felt that it was imperative to find new avenues to build bridges into lives and communities that were misunderstood and not being helped. Work on projects and activities began as early as 1997 and Bridges of Love received its legal Lebanese government registration in the year 2000.

1) Spreading a message of love through audio, print and visual means.
 
2)  Providing access to medical care and immunization programs with the help of highly skilled local and international physicians and other medical workers.
 
3) Working to help disabled persons become active members in society and in their environment.
 
4) Helping drug addicts and alcoholic youngsters overcome their addictions and become positive contributors to their country and society.
 
5) Reaching out to help financially needy people help themselves without discrimination based on religion, confession or rite is a goal we are working to achieve by aiding individuals in establishing micro-businesses.
 
6) Giving children hope for a better future through education has led us to become involved in schools, children’s programs and activities to socially integrate and empower drop-outs students.
 
7) To establish orphanages, old age hospitals and other social institutions.
