About Dekenet Al Nes
Dekenet Al Nes is a solidarity initiative launched in Lebanon in response to the economic crisis that began in 2019. It aims to provide citizens with basic necessities at affordable prices while focusing on reducing environmental costs.
Founded by a group of Lebanese young people.
What we set out to do
Basics people can afford
Everyday essentials priced so that families and individuals can afford them, especially in hard economic times.
Your own containers
Customers are encouraged to bring their own containers and refill essential products, which cuts plastic waste and single-use packaging.
A lighter footprint
From reusable containers to less plastic waste, the shop is set up to lessen its environmental impact and encourage greener habits.
Solidarity
More than a shop, Dekenet Al Nes is a community initiative that fosters resilience and solidarity.
Our name
