Vision
Thriving communities, empowered from within
A Lebanon where every community can build its own future.
Michel Issa Foundation
Building stronger communities from within
The Michel Issa Foundation was established in 2012 in honor of Michel Issa, whose story began in Amchit. For him, success was never measured only by what was built, but by what was given back.
MIF is the family’s institutional commitment to Lebanon, working with municipalities, schools, civil society, and local communities on development that starts from within.
