Afif Ayad talks to us about the challenges NGO's face and the true struggle of those left behind in Lebanon

In this episode Afif Ayad the owner and founder of an NGO called Shaabi Masouliyati talks to us about the challenges he has faced in the country & why he left the corporate world to head up a non-profit. Civil Servants like Afif work day and night, given the role they play is even more integral than the government. People in Lebanon have learnt and accepted that they cannot lean on their corrupt government, the government does not and will not have it's best interests at heart - so it is NGO's like Shaabi that have to pick up the slack and bridge the gap. How long can they maintain themselves, and how long will it take before the government want a piece of the financial pie!
