Helping a country in difficulty by combining entrepreneurial spirit and solidarity: this is the goal of Work In Progress (WIP), the project launched in 2022 under the patronage of the NGO Pro Terra Sancta to support Lebanon. How? By selecting, training, and funding young entrepreneurs who lack resources and experience. After the aspiring project owners present their ideas in Beirut, a team of Italian and Lebanese experts evaluates their development potential. The dream of WIP is to create a community of new businesses and foster their relationships with Italian and European organizations—all to cultivate ethical and sustainable development and create new jobs
