Welcome to our Website

Dr. Basil Fuleihan believed in his country, Lebanon. He worked diligently toward the progress and development of Lebanon, and we want his work to continue, his dreams to come true, his ideas to be realized and his vision to be fulfilled. The seeds of progress that he sowed need to be nurtured to blossom and bear fruits for future generations. This is why we have the Basil Fuleihan Foundation, a non-profit organization that will continue the legacy of his work for a better future for Lebanon and the Lebanese. The Basil Fuleihan Foundation will develop solutions to broad-based social and economic problems, and sponsor research and other projects in the fields of public policy, public service, reform, transparency and good governance, with the aim of accelerating economic growth and development.

	The Basil Fuleihan Foundation announces the launch of "WHO AM I?"�, a children's book promoting a message of peace and tolerance, by Yasma Fuleihan. "Who Am I?" promotes an awareness of self within the child through personal examination and reflection. Delivering a message of peace and tolerance, and allowing the young reader to design their own vision of their future, Yasma Fuleihan hopes this book will empower children to aspire to live a life without hatred. All proceeds from the sale of the book go directly to the Basil Fuleihan Foundation to support foundation programs and activities. The book, distributed by Librarie El Bourj, is also available in French under the title "Qui Suis-je?"�, and both versions are for sale in bookstores across Lebanon. They will also be available for international purchase directly through the Basil Fuleihan Foundation website in the very near future.
