Beirut, Lebanon, September 22, 2022
‘Arztak Hawytak’ is an environmental initiative led by Rotary Club Beirut Cadmos and supported by international and local partners to raise the funds needed to secure the cost of afforesting, irrigating, protecting, and nurturing 10,452 cedar trees that will form a public cedar reserve in Ehden.
Let’s Plant a Seed of Hope
Rotary Club Beirut Cadmos decided to take action by launching ‘Arztak Hawytak’ (translated to English as: your cedar is your identity), thus reaffirming our core mission: taking pride in our Lebanese roots.
One Cedar at a Time
The ‘Arztak Hawytak’ fundraising campaign will secure the cost of afforestation, irrigation, protection, and maintenance of the cedar trees over the course of 3 years. Each contribution will directly impact Lebanon’s ecosystem, which in turn will improve the quality of life of all humans and wildlife in the surrounding areas in addition to reducing the effects of climate change.
Our Project Ambassador
We are proud to declare beloved Lebanese actor and long-time environmental activist Georges Khabbaz as our project ambassador. Mr. Khabbaz will be representing the ‘Arztak Hawytak’ initiative and helping us support Lebanon’s environmental sustainability and cultivate national pride.
Back to Our Cedar Roots
Banque BEMO proudly supports as a strategic partner the ‘Arztak Hawytak’ initiative, which is a continuity to its last year’s ‘Back to our Cedar Roots’ – an initiative aiming at restoring pride in what Lebanon stands for, reinforcing the sense of belonging of people of Lebanese origin, and casting attention on the unfairness suffered by Lebanese women who are unable to pass the Lebanese nationality to their children.
