Banque BEMO proudly announces the launch of the third edition of “Back to our Cedar Roots” initiative, whereby 100 baby cedar trees will be allocated in a draw to 100 individuals of Lebanese origin, living abroad and not having a father of Lebanese nationality.
The draw ceremony will be held on 22 November 2023 at Beit Kanz, a prominent architectural and cultural hub in Beirut; and it will bring together ambassadors, journalists, NGOs, agencies, partners, previous edition winners and Banque BEMO family to celebrate a remarkable three-year journey.
This initiative aims to reinforce pride in Lebanon, strengthen the sense of belonging among the Lebanese diaspora, and shed light on the injustice faced by Lebanese women who are unable to pass nationality to their children.
The event will be live-streamed, enabling participants and the diaspora to engage and witness the ceremony in real time.
