Who we are

About HERO

Human and Environmental Rehab Organization (HERO) is a Lebanese NGO founded in 2025 and based in the heart of Aley. At our core, we believe that rebuilding any society starts with healing; healing the people, the land, and the relationships that hold everything together.
We were born from a simple but powerful idea: real, lasting change happens when you invest in both human dignity and the environment.
Our approach is anchored in collaborative project development, leadership training, and volunteer engagement. HERO believes in transforming challenges into opportunities by equipping our members and volunteers with the tools to lead impactful programs, build strong partnerships, and nurture civic responsibility.
Vision

To be Lebanon’s most trusted and impactful NGO – one that inspires collective healing and regeneration of both people and land.
Our goal is to build a resilient Lebanon where communities thrive through solidarity, sustainability, and social justice.

Mission
At HERO, our mission is to transform Lebanon’s pain into purposeful action and convert crises into catalysts for opportunity. We strive to channel the energy of Lebanon’s youth and communities toward environmental restoration, economic empowerment, and social healing.
Our Why

We started HERO because Lebanon, a country rich in beauty, resilience, and potential, is bleeding. Our youth are sidelined, our women overlooked, our natural resources exploited, and our communities fragmented by mistrust.
That’s why we founded HERO: to build the projects no one else dares to, to empower the people no one else sees, and to restore the hope everyone thought was lost.
