Melhem Foundation

During the 2025 Beirut Revival Luncheon hosted in partnership with Melhem Foundation, Mr. Salim Chahine delivered a powerful address on behalf of the Beirut Revival Foundation, highlighting the organization’s mission and the profound importance of supporting education in Beirut’s schools.

He honored the legacy of His Eminence Metropolitan Elias Audi, whose leadership of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Beirut since 1980 has built a culture of openness, dialogue, and service — ensuring that no child is deprived of quality education and no individual in need is left uncared for.

Salim spoke about BRF’s vital role in sustaining schools, social programs, and essential services, especially in the aftermath of the 2020 crisis. He also extended heartfelt thanks to President Melhem and the entire Melhem Foundation team for their partnership and commitment to this shared mission.

Together, we rise for Beirut. 🇱🇧

There’s no better way to enter the holiday season than spending time with our community.
We’re thankful for the Melhem Foundation and Beirut Revival Foundation family who joined us in Boston last Sunday.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. 🧡🦃✨

Beirut Revival Luncheon felt like more than just an event. It felt like a family coming together. We sat closely with partners, sponsors, friends, and guests who share a belief in purpose, philanthropy, and rebuilding with dignity. Conversations flowed, ideas were sparked, and hearts were aligned. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped turn a simple luncheon into a meaningful moment of hope, collaboration, and new beginnings.
