Why Should People Consider Volunteering with WATANI?

Watani is an e-commerce website that started as a great idea to help Lebanon that was going through economic crisis. After that, the 4th of August horrible event which destroyed our beautiful Beirut took place. The situation was unbearable, luckily Lebanon is rich in passionate, genuine and big-hearted youth such as the WATANI team all thanks to Ms. Maria Frangieh or as I like to call her “The Visionary Soldier” who gathers people that share the same vision as hers towards Lebanon for a better country.

 

After the event occurred, the inflation rate kept rising leading to a dysfunction in the economy. As a result of that people were living in a hopeless case now that they literally lost everything; from loved ones to their business, homes. As Lebanese citizens despite the fact that some loses were greater than the others but every Lebanese lost a piece of their heart.

 

The whole scenario in Lebanon is unfortunate. However, as mentioned the youth gladly shares hope and vision for a better Beirut. Especially that the youth is aware of how valuable the gem that we live on is but most importantly how precious and bright our people are. Our mission is to support as much local businesses as possible. The local businesses that are created by university students who care about the completion of their education or by citizens who are literally just trying to make a living.

 

The mentioned statement raises two questions: Why do you still prefer supporting brands that already make millions in sales per year and offer you the same product as local businesses? And why not make it a goal to support local not only by buying but also by being a part of any initiative that does.

 

The youth is already trying to revive Lebanon while many sit out there doing nothing. On the other hand there are a lot that just don’t know how they can help. But let me assure you everyone can be helpful because everyone of you is fit and unique for something specific.

 

Watani aims to help support local businesses which are already hanging on a thin thread. Watani gives those businesses the exposure they deserve aiming to keep them going. Watani also helps these businesses expand their region of shipping.

 

Watani uses graphic designers, marketers, web developers. However, you can still help a certain business by including their data using SEO on the main website to attract potential buyers.

Watani is currently operating on funds which means that the job is voluntary. On the other side of the coin, Watani will help you promote your own business, increase your connections, become more familiar with the future which is digital markets but most importantly volunteering in Watani means you are participating in the rise of Beirut again.

To finalize, Beirut is weeping if it’s not the time to be worried then I surprisingly wonder when? And if you’re not the one to help the phoenix rise then I also shockingly wonder who?
