EQUAL Lebanon implements a locally rooted fundraising and awareness strategy that combines cultural, social, and community-based events to both mobilize resources and sensitize the public to issues of visual impairment.

Through inclusive gatherings that blend leisure, culture, and shared experiences, EQUAL creates accessible spaces where the wider community engages directly with persons with visual impairment. These initiatives use art, heritage, social interaction, and collective participation as entry points to challenge stereotypes, foster empathy, and promote inclusive mindsets.

By integrating fundraising with awareness and participation, this approach not only sustains EQUAL’s empowerment programs, but also strengthens community ownership of inclusion, reinforcing dignity, accessibility, and equal participation as shared social values.
