• Chairman Fouad M. Makhzoumi believed strongly that it was important for the Future Group to work towards the empowerment of society by getting involved with the community. The Family put this belief to work and created The Makhzoumi Foundation in Lebanon in 1998.

  The Makhzoumi Foundation

  The Makhzoumi Foundation was established with the aim of contributing through its programs to the development of the civil society. It works towards the Evolution of the Lebanese Civil Society, Enhancement of the Potentials of Lebanese Human Resources, Enforcement of Self-Responsibility & Independence, Emphasizing the Importance of Environmental Preservation, Encouraging the Quest of Education and Encompassing Good Health Care.

  The Group spearheads welfare efforts in Lebanon through a range of well thought out philanthropic activities that support humanitarian causes, and provides services through different programs: The Civic Centers Training Program, The Micro Credit Program, The Health Care Program, The Awareness Program and Agriculture/Environment Program.

  The Foundation is well known for work done towards the welfare of Lebanese families and its emphasis on programs that lead to higher income and better social welfare for the beneficiaries. The Micro Credit Program is an outstanding example, having been launched to help underprivileged Lebanese families start, or expand, small businesses through Micro loans made available on the basis of their character and sound planning rather than financial collateral. Up to date the program has disbursed loans with a cumulative of nearly $4,000,000 covering over 4500 loans contributing to the improvement of the beneficiaries’ economic status. The Foundation is a member of SANABEL which is a membership-driven regional network created in 2002 to serve microfinance institutions in the Arab world. Also, the Foundation publishes its information on the Mix Market platform and has been awarded a 2-Diamond Certificate of Transparency since joining in 2008.

  The Makhzoumi Foundation also operates training and civic centers in which thousands of Lebanese citizens are provided with subsidized training in different specialties; Computer and Internet Skills, Languages, Beauty, Vocational, Various Administrative and Accounting Courses, as well as Arabic literacy, in addition to occasional courses and workshops. The Foundation's certificates are accredited by Microsoft and it is a member of the Microsoft IT Academy Program and a Microsoft Office Specialist Authorized Testing Center. In addition, Makhzoumi Foundation has become an approved ETS Certified Test Administration Site for TOEFL iBT.

  Makhzoumi Foundation is also accredited by LCCI (The London Chamber of Commerce and Industry) which provides International Qualification Diplomas that include courses in Business Administration, Managerial Principles, Marketing and Management, Accounting and Secretarial Studies.

  Government bodies, the Internal Security Forces of Lebanon, the Republican Guards, the National Council for Social Security, and Civil Society have taken advantage of this opportunity to train their personnel in computer techniques and in the English Language. Over 80,000 certificates have been issued contributing to the enhancement of the beneficiaries skills.

  The Awareness Program aims at disseminating information and knowledge and raising awareness on issues of public concern at mobilizing potentials and building capacities through implementation of different projects on Democracy and Human right issues in partnership with local and international bodies. To date, 21,500 Lebanese citizens of different categories and ages have benefited from the program.

  The Agriculture/Environment Program aims to preserve and care for the Environment, the Sustainable Agriculture and the Management of Natural Resources in a way that ensures that their benefits are also available in the future. This program includes several activities and projects with a view of protection, preservation and improvement of the environment and the agricultural sector in the country. 3400 citizens benefited from the program (Farmers-students-women) in 170 locations (Municipalities-NGOs-Regions, Schools), and 135,500 trees were distributed from 2002 till date.

  The Health Care Program aims at creating a healthcare network providing Lebanese citizens with medical care at the least possible cost. In addition, the Foundation’s Health Clinics provide medical checkups, laboratory tests, X-rays & ultrasounds, mammography, instant diabetes tests, blood type tests, children vaccines and maternity social services, as well as the Foundation’s pharmacy that provides medicines at subsidized prices.

  The Makhzoumi Millennium Foundation

  The Future Millennium Foundation, the American wing of the Group’s charitable activities, supports the Makhzoumi Foundation by promoting it in North America and raising funds for its different programs and activities.
