OUR MISSION:
PRESERVING THE PAST WHILE BUILDING THE FUTURE
Heritage is not only meant for textbooks and museums. It is the foundation of our identity and manifests itself in our culture, our environment and our communities. A society that values and protects its heritage is ready to face the challenges of the future.
Our aim is to protect Lebanon's rich and dynamic heritage from being eradicated.

What We Do.
We at Boukra believe that we are capable of preserving Lebanon's natural and cultural heritage while also helping with the dissemination of sustainable lifestyles.
- We bring heritage back to the hearts of our societies.
- We empower local communities and younger generations to build a better future through heritage-based projects.
- We harness our natural resources and the wisdom of the past to create jobs and economic opportunities.
WE FOLLOW THREE LINES OF WORK:
Perpetuate.
We keep Heritage alive. We revive old buildings and transform them into places of opportunity. We document traditions and create spaces for sharing and exploring them. We empower individuals and groups through heritage-related activities. |
Innovate.
We build sustainable societies. We encourage sustainable consumption and living patterns. We protect our natural resources and build economic opportunities around them - not against them. We promote innovative ideas and nature-based solutions to our society's problems. |
Connect.
We create bonds that last. We work with and for people, and we build communities that value our shared identity. We create platforms to learn, brainstorm, share ideas and experiences around our common heritage. We bring together experts, artists, students and engaged citizens to find heritage-based solutions for a better future. |
