Co-Founder at Impact Lebanon

Lucien co-founded Impact Lebanon in October 2019, a non-profit social impact incubator started by the Lebanese diaspora in London after the 2019 Lebanese "October Revolution" — a period of financial crisis in Lebanon. The purpose was to empower the Lebanese diaspora to challenge the status quo and help Lebanon during this difficult phase.

In the aftermath of the Beirut explosion on August 4th, 2020, they set up a fundraiser with an initial objective of $15,000. Donations began pouring in, and news of the crisis traveled far beyond Lebanon's borders. In less than 48 hours, the fundraiser had been shared by millions around the world, reaching an outstanding $8.3 million. The funds were distributed directly to those who were most affected on the ground.

Lucien was responsible for building Impact Lebanon's online presence by creating their two websites. The organization continues its mission at impactlebanon.org.
