BBAC and Live Lebanon-UNDP supported the Municipality of Bcharre in North Lebanon in the rehabilitation project of its historical market. The project, which was made possible by the immense efforts of Live Lebanon’s Goodwill Ambassador Mr. Fadi Salamah and the Cedar Foundation, will create a touristic marketplace for local craftsmen, artists and producers to sell their products 

The public event was held in the town square and attended by several heads of nearby municipalities and mayors as well as numerous political, religious and social figures and officials.

After commencing the inauguration with the national anthem, the Head of the Municipality of Bcharre, Mr. Antoine Shokr, gave a short speech thanking Live Lebanon for rebuilding the market and turning it into a business that will improve the quality of life in Bcharre. UNDP Country Director, Mr. Luca Renda, thanked their partners and emphasized the initiative’s commitment to support development projects across Lebanon. Live Lebanon’s Goodwill Ambassador expressed his satisfaction with the project and echoed Mr. Renda’s remarks, reiterating Live Lebanon’s pledge to achieve sustainable development in the country.

Through rebuilding and opening the new market, the project will revive Bcharre’s economy and social life by attracting more tourists. Bcharre’s public market is one of North Lebanon’s most prominent historical sites and renovating it is in line with BBAC 's and Live Lebanon’s objective of providing a better life to all members of the society.
