Women Can Lead

Labeled by many as one of LOST’s jewel innovations “A Step towards Municipal Elections” is a pioneer project that sets the standards of civil service. In closer inspection the project is a model of social restructuring which empowers women and encourages them to presume their roles as leaders in society. The project, very generously sponsored by the Embassy of the Netherlands, reaches out to 300 women in 14 different areas in Baalbeck-Hermel area. It

introduces them to many aspects of political life, training them on many subjects from: Leadership, Citizenship, Municipal law, Needs Assessment, Political Campaigning, local development, Social medial tools and Body Language. The project which spans over 2 years started recruitment on the 24th of April, 2014 and launched its applications in a great launching ceremony on the 22nd of May, 2014 where the attendance and social participation proved stunning to even the extreme optimists, sending out social support messages to the project. This project serves as a wakeup call to society and particularly females as these pioneer 300 are going to help propel many deserving women into authority.
