Their story
INMAA was founded in Bekaa, Lebanon, to support the needs of the local community, with a primary focus on stateless individuals and Bedouin communities, among the most marginalized populations in Lebanon. In 2006, the organization launched its first emergency response during the Israeli attack on Lebanon, assisting displaced individuals from the South by providing shelter and basic needs. Today, INMAA continues to adapt its programs to meet the evolving needs of communities, fostering sustainable development and maintaining strong ties with the international humanitarian community.

Youth in the organisation take part in the activities as participants, volunteers, and members.
They meet young people online, at their own centre, and in public outdoor spaces (such as streets or parks).
