Providing hot meals for 150 individuals distributed over 23 HH. The beneficiaries received their meals as per the “Smart Card Program” launched by AICA early July. The family can select from a variety of meals (Meat, Chicken, Fish and Vegetarian) to cater to all tastes. The meal/individual weighs 550 Grams and it is served for 3000 LBP (0.1 USD) in order to emphasize on beneficiaries’ resilience and dignity.AICA distributed 3900 meals per month.
Carrying on with the door to door visits, and assessing additional families in order to include them in the program upon funds availability. Around 600 HH are pending on AICA’s waiting list, in addition to 100 families who were assessed late September, out of whom 45 HH were deemed eligible. AICA is trying to leverage own funds to increase the number of “Smart Card Program” beneficiaries despite the hardships and limited resources.
Improving the quality and taste of provided food through constant monitoring & evaluation. The kitchen staff recorded the beneficiaries’ daily feedback and conducted the needed adjustments when existed. AICA also extended the monitoring activity and collected feedback from staff and regular customers who are purchasing meals from the kitchen, all to guarantee the best outcome in terms of quality and taste.
