Ripples of Happiness

Ripples of Happiness is about positively impacting our communities, giving back, and paying it forward. The 6-week university outreach program teaches Lebanon’s youth about social responsibility and entrepreneurship by equipping them with the professional knowledge and skills to help them support their communities and empower them to consciously lead the future.

University students are invited to come together to form their own teams, select a social project that affects their community, and devise an innovative solution that positively impacts our society. After the intensive 6-week training program, the teams are asked to create a short video to showcase their projects to one another. These promotional videos also represent Lebanon in a regional competition against teams from 6 other Arab countries. The top three winners from the MENA region receive funding to get their social enterprises up and running on a larger scale!

Overseen by INJAZ Lebanon, and created by INJAZ Al-Arab and the Coca-Cola Foundation, Ripples of Happiness aims to primarily foster social responsibility and entrepreneurship through INJAZ Lebanon’s three core areas of business education: entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy.
