Saida, located in south Lebanon, is considered to be a neglected region in Lebanon. The city afflicted by the conflict with Israel, hosts a large number of Palestinian refugees and is characterized by sectarian and doctrinal diversity. (Available in French)
In a country still threatened by sectarian segregation in its community, Solidarity Laïque has been involved since 1989 in a process of bringing people together regardless of their origin and religious belief. (Available in French)
