Letter from the President
Canada has provided a strong foundation for the growth and development of Association FAD.
Within an environment defined by inclusion, accessibility, and collaboration, the organization has been able to transform lived experience into a structured, community-driven socio-medical initiative supported by a committed and multidisciplinary team.
Guided by shared human values and cultural exchange, Association FAD works to build bridges between communities through care, dialogue, and cooperation—strengthening inclusion and collective responsibility.
Lebanese by blood. Canadian by choice.
This reflects the spirit of openness, belonging, and opportunity that shapes our mission and guides our work.
