"Numbers don't change the world. People do."
Ahrar Qotaish
Participant, Women's Empowerment Program — Houla
“My confidence grew after the training and I felt that the challenges of the economic crisis became easier, especially after we learned sewing, financial literacy, and marketing. I didn't know about these fields before — the trainers helped us so much. Special thanks to UNIFIL, The LEE Experience, and 'Mothers of Houla' for this amazing experience.”
Salima Mustafa
Participant, Women's Empowerment Program — Houla
“After the long lockdown and the difficult economic situation, I was very eager to join the program. The training was successful, especially because the trainers were committed and engaging. I thank The LEE Experience team for being so cooperative with us, and special thanks to UNIFIL who visited our workshops and motivated us even more.”
Sekna Sakeen
Participant, Women's Empowerment Program — Houla
“The training taught us so many things that help us earn more income for our families. We learned sewing, business management, finances, and marketing. We benefited greatly from the training with the 'Mothers of Houla' and The LEE Experience team. Thank you UNIFIL — we're very grateful.”
What We Learned
Lessons, Not Just Wins
What we've learned (so you don't have to)
Adaptability beats perfection
Our pivot to digital during lockdown wasn't planned—it was necessary. And it became our strongest asset.
Local staff aren't 'implementers'—they're the strategy
The best ideas don't come from headquarters. They come from the field, where reality meets ambition.
Green isn't a sector—it's a lens
We stopped asking 'Is this a green project?' and started asking 'How does this build climate resilience?' Here's what changed.
