Khayrat Bekaena COOP – El Khiara, West Bekaa
“Khayrat Bekaena COOP” was founded in 2013 by a group of locals from El Khiara, a small village in West Bekaa, to create job opportunities for the women in the area. This COOP is specialized in mouneh production, offering different lines of long-shelf live items: jams, pickles, kishk, olive oil, vinegar, tomato paste etc. The COOP is led by around 10 Syrian and Lebanese women who work depending on the season and the crops available for mouneh production.
