Kanz Beit el Baraka

Beit Kanz building was carefully restored by Kanz’ parent organization, Beit el Baraka, who raised funds specifically for the restoration and preservation of this building. Although funds were collected for the sole purpose of preserving the building, this was no charitable hand-out: in exchange for funding and directing the works, Beit el Baraka negotiated with the owners the exclusive use of the ground floor space for a five-year term, entirely free of charge. Also, the refurbishment and decoration works were funded by a group of philanthropists who believe in the vision and mission of Kanz. Every piece of furniture, wood, marble, wallpaper, tiles, mirrors, lighting, paint, glassware, cutlery and fabric were all generously donated. All of the café’s furniture and clay serving pots and plates were produced by Lebanese artisans with special needs in Beirut, the Chouf, and Tripoli. This is how Kanz makes resources go further to positively impact more people. All proceeds made by Kanz are fully donated to Beit el Baraka.
