About Us

Qudurat was founded by a group of like-minded Lebanese individuals who believe in the importance of supporting NGOs in attending to vulnerable populations, especially in remote areas of Lebanon.

Qudurat works at the intersection of donors, pro-bono volunteers, and NGOs.

Qudurat aims to maximize the social impact of NGOs in Lebanon to ensure that the most vulnerable populations get access to vital services. We aim to empower local NGOs by providing them with funding and professional matchmaking opportunities.

The Qudurat Small Grant Program was launched in response to the unprecedented economic and financial crisis facing Lebanon in 2020. Lebanon is on its way to becoming the country with the highest debt-to-GDP ratio and the government is on the brink of bankruptcy. The population is facing potential austerity, large-scale layoffs, the collapse of small and large businesses and a dramatic increase in poverty.
