SANAD Lebanon was founded in 2020, by Consul Hikmat Nasser, with the aim to be a local and global social nucleus that achieves sustainable development goals to bring peace and prosperity in the community. The Association's main objectives are: Development, Equality, Innovation, Partnerships and Communication Aspiration Evolving into Reality The desire to establish an association that passionately supports Lebanese society was something that Consul Hikmat Nasser always held close to his heart. Having lived most of his life in the expatriate and business world, his connection to his motherland was always at the foundation of his endeavors. This was nurtured further through his connection with the World Lebanese Cultural Union (WLCU), his representation of the Lebanese Parliament in the European Parliament, and the establishment of the Belgian Lebanese Business Council (BLBC), amongst several other organizations serving Lebanese society. SANAD Lebanon came into fruition once it opened its branches in Beirut (Raouche) and in the town of Haris, South Lebanon. What was initiated as the Hikmat Nasser Development Association became SANAD Lebanon , a name that represents the association’s core aspiration.
