“Salamati was more than a health-crisis monitoring system; it’s been a living model of building capacities and collaboration between the community, local authorities, and refugees that made all the partners enabled and empowered.”

“Before the First Responder Team I was an unknown refugee living passively in this area, but now I belong to this area. I really love volunteering. As part of a team, we feel we belong more. There’s no difference in the team between Lebanese and Syrian. We are all one now.”

“Instead of doing nothing, now I can ask my neighbour how many products she finished, I show her mine. This is challenging us to improve. Each one of us wants to be the best. We are profiting from our time. Even our husbands are helping us in collecting the nylon bags."

“With a lack of accurate data in most municipalities, SALAR International launched a data collection app at the union of municipalities of Dreib Al-Awsat and Jurd Al-Qayteh. This data is key for us, and now we can approach different actors using it.”
