EDF is a not-for-profit youth development organization. The foundation's main objective is to improve the livelihood and future prospects of the youth in Lebanon by enhancing their entrepreneurial skills and equipping them with the knowledge for starting small businesses. This will then serve to improve their own socio-economic status and that of their communities.             EDF is an independent non-sectarian organization that caters to all Lebanese youth irrespective of their gender, ethnicity or affiliations. EDF operates in rural areas and less privileged neighborhoods in the bigger cities. The means by which the foundation empowers its graduates is by equipping them with the appropriate skills and knowledge, then financing their planned business startups, if the business plans are viewed to be promising.           contact us at: edf@edf-lebanon.org
