It’s the best of times. It’s the worst of times. It’s the season of Hope…
…It’s the season of Al-Kafaàt: it’s the return of all our special residents to our rehabilitation centers.
After a forced and exceptional closing of all our rehabilitation centers during the entire month of July because of the delay in the Ministry of Social Affairs’ overdue disbursement of funds, the Al-Kafaàt Foundation resumed its activities and opened its rehabilitation centers against all odds on the first of September.
And while the original location of the Myriam Center is still closed and its residents moved to another location of the Foundation, Al-Kafaàt pursues delivering its highly refined rehabilitation services to its special beneficiaries against all odds. To this date indeed, the Ministry of Social Affairs has not disbursed its overdue funds for the elapsed 2019 year, let alone signed the contracts for the 2019 year.
It’s the season of Hope. It’s the season of Al-Kafaàt.
Al-Kafaàt serves today on its own and on a daily basis in its ten rehabilitation centers over 900 people with special needs.
These are our Foundation’s centers and their corresponding locations:
- Sister Celeste-Marie Hall (for people with Cerebral Palsy) located at the Lily Shwayri Rehabilitation Center, in Hadat
- Clothier Hall (for people with limited mobility) located at the Lily Shwayri Rehabilitation Center, in Hadat

It’s the best of times. It’s the worst of times.
It’s the season of Hope. It’s the season of Al-Kafaàt.
May this be a blessed year to all.
