In 2015, Cedars Network began as a small group of people distressed by the ongoing realities of revolutions, war, and poverty in the Middle East. We saw the destruction caused by war in Syria and heard first-hand stories of men, women and children who lost their homes, their family members and the lives they once knew. In Lebanon, we witnessed families suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, men and women who couldn’t find work and hundreds of thousands of children who were unable to attend school. In the midst of all of the chaos, we also saw extraordinary potential in these people.

We are building a network of interdependent teams to collaborate with marginalized peoples in their pursuit of restored communities through holistic development projects. Our projects are in the sectors of education, health and business with the goal of empowering individuals, households, neighborhoods and people groups to flourish.

We aspire to consider the whole person and whole community as we collaborate on projects.

This is bigger than what we can do alone. We collaborate with people around the world in pursuit of holistic restoration of marginalized communities in the Middle East.
