Who we are
Who we areAwareness linked to social work — with the human being at the center
ACA — The Awareness & Consolation Association — was established in 1994 (Reg. No. 640 A.D.). The philosophy of the association revolves around awareness linked to social work, manifested in all humanitarian activities; the focus of its projects is centered on humanity.
With the efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers, ACA was established in 1994 under license number 640 A.D.
To this day, the association continues to serve as a beacon of light for those whose paths have been darkened by life's challenges and demands.
Its mission is centered on the individual — their social, economic, health, and educational needs. Compassion is the core value of its work: alleviating the sorrows and hardships of the needy, bringing hope, and ensuring social security for them.
From its main center in the Al-Kharoub region — Ketermaya — ACA's work extends through centers and offices across all Lebanese territories. Through its eight working sectors, ACA has become a shelter for every resident in Lebanon.
