How It Works
The project will adopt a zoning approach for prioritization, following the zones defined by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). Grant applications will be assessed on a first-come first-served basis, and based on proximity to the blast area.

Kafalat will progressively announce, through the proper channels (including website and through participating MFIs), the time to move to the next zone.

We are now receiving applications from zones K and O.
Now we are receiving applications from the 6 zones K,L,M,N,O,P and up to 5 km.
