Regie launches “Spring Board” program in North Lebanon

The Regie Libanaise de Tabacs et Tombacs (Regie) ended on Saturday a number of workshops held in Al-Hisa, Akkar aimed at empowering women. The workshops, which were attended by 30 who are the daughters of tobacco farmers in the North, are part of the “Manchar Souwar” 2019 competition that focuses on women, and are also part of the “Spring Board” program aimed at enhancing the role of working women.

The workshops included interventions from Lebanese Armed Forces Brigadier General Dr. Hala Shahhal, Head of Balassem Organization Ms. Joumana El-Debs, former Head of Toula Municipality Ms. Eliane Youness, who informed the ladies about the challenges that each of them faced throughout their lives.

It is worth noting that Regie had launched the program in Bekaa at a previous time, and mentioned that the same program will be held in South Lebanon during January.

In the same regard, it is important to emphasize that the workshops are part of the “Spring Board” (Start Point) program aimed at empowering women to give them more self-confidence and self-appreciation in order to have a positive impact on their surroundings and also an impact of themselves personally and\or professionally.
