Alzheimer’s Association Lebanon was founded in 2004 as a non-profit organization with the mission of improving the quality of life for people with dementia and their caretakers and with the primary objective of raising public awareness, throughout Lebanon and the Middle East.

Mission

To raise social and individual public awareness to support people with dementia and their caregivers though care services, support group meetings, dissemination of information, training, capacity building workshops and advocating public health policies.

Vision

1. Reaching out to more families to help provide a better quality of life to patients and their carers.
