Our mission is to foster equitable growth in Lebanon.
We do this by forming partnerships between longstanding and newer community members, creating bridges that elevate our community.
Each project, program and community investment groups we develop fall into these three categories.
- Equity in Education
- Health Equity
- Economic Equity

Our Approach
Weaving Fala incorporates cultural programming rooted in the strands of the Tongan Fala, which weave together the four pillars of Tongan culture:
- Faka ‘apa ‘apa (respect)
- Loto tō (humanity)
- Tauhi vā (nurturing relationships)
- Mamahi'i me'a (loyalty/passion)
These pillars provide a foundation for our families and communities to engage in talanoa

- Faka ‘apa ‘apa (respect)
- Loto tō (humanity)
- Tauhi vā (nurturing relationships)
- Mamahi'i me'a (loyalty/passion)
These pillars provide a foundation for our families and communities to engage in talanoa (open dialogue). Through this cultural lens, we build strong bonds that nurture relationships and foster growth. Weaving, a process highly valued in our tradition, symbolizes the strides we are making as we move forward as a community.
Tonga is known as "The Friendly Islands," and in Lebanon, we are rebuilding a community where everyone feels they belong, embodying our claim to being "The town that friendliness has built"—for everyone!
