Maronite Foundation — Helping Christians Keep Their Voice

by Joe Khouri - Maronite Foundation in the World—Executive Board Member, USA

It is of the utmost urgency that Lebanese Christians hold on to their voice in Lebanon or it will be lost forever.

Founded by a Patriarchal decree in 2008, the Maronite Foundation in the World assists Maronites abroad to establish their legal status in Lebanon and participate in the country’s public life if they so choose.

Why is this so important? The emigration of Christians from Lebanon has disturbed the delicate religious balance that makes Lebanon a unique pluralistic country in the Middle East. The Maronite Foundation in the World has been tasked to reinstate this balance by registering qualified Maronites and Lebanese Christians living in the United States and around the world.

By registering yourselves and your family, you are helping ensure democracy continues in Lebanon and it remains the country of your ancestors for your children and your children’s children.

Everyone is busy. That’s why we’ve streamlined the process and hired staff across the country to assist applicants. You can find out if you qualify in only three minutes by visiting www.maronitefoundation.org. 

Please contact our Regional Directors with any questions and/or assistance. We are here to help you.
