As part of the “Our Turn to Speak” initiative, which aims to build a network of activists and groups that believe in strengthening citizenship and its values to help rebuild the social contract. The initiative, together with Manatik Net launched a series of reports about working groups that started local initiatives during the war. In this report, the work of Tamaddon Association and its medical and relief efforts are highlighted. Their work focuses on marginalized areas, especially Arkoub region, where people remained resilient during the war and did not leave their villages. Through its mobile clinics visiting shelters in Sidon and Al-Arqoub, "Tamaddon" helps alleviate the suffering of displaced persons and tend to their wounds. According to its director, Dr. Ziad Daher, the organization’s work is grounded in rejecting clientelism and providing services as a fundamental right to citizens—for whom neither they nor the nation can find salvation except through the project of the State, and the State alone.
