About us
We are a group of nature lovers who acknowledge that the sea is our most valuable asset, accessible to all. For this purpose, we created SWIM Lebanon which stands for Sustainable Waste Intercity Marathon. SWIM engages communities all over Lebanon for a combined swimming and waste collection initiatives to create a chain reaction of good habits to save our sea from pollution and keep our environment clean. We are supported by professional swimmers, event managers, influencers, activists, educators, lecturers, various NGOs, businesses, environmentalists, and designers who help us achieve our GREEN LANE objectives.

في مسوولية مشتركة علينا كلنا لنحافظ على ثرواتنا الطبيعية . بتغيير عاداتنا اليومية وباكتسابنا للعادات الصالحة والجيدة ، فينا نتفادى الكثير من الكوارث ! #تصرف_بمسؤولية
شهدنا اليومين الماضيين عدة حرائق في الغابات والاحراج كادت ان تكون كارثية: في مرج بسري، حرار، قبعيت، عكار العتيقة، الضنية، كفرا وغيرها من المناطق. وساهمت سرعة الاستجابة من فرق الدفاع المدني، ومجموعات المستجيب الاول، والدعم الكبير من القوات الجوية في الجيش اللبناني وتأمين المياه من قبل البلديات بالسيطرة على هذه الحرائق ومنع تمددها. معظم هذه الحرائق بدأت باهمال بعض المزارعين الذين كانوا يحرقون الأعشاب اليابسة في أراضيهم، وادت سرعة الرياح وانخفاض الرطوبة الى تمددها. سنعمم بالتعاون مع وزارة الزراعة ولجان المحميات الطبيعية والبلديات والجمعيات البيئية على الجميع منع حرق الاعشاب والمخلفات في هذه الفترة واحترام قانون الغابات الذي يمنع ذلك في 'الأراضي الواقعة على أقل من خمسماية متر من الغابات وذلك من ١ تموز إلى ٣١ تشرين الأول'. #وزارة_البيئة #حريق_بالناقص

An exhilarating and a heartening collaboration with Borderless NGO and Beirut Marathon Association promoting the Right to Run and the importance of environmental consciousness to 200 young girls and boys. An initiative that reaffirmed our commitment to fostering beneficial changes in both the realms of sports and environmental awareness. #sports #righttorun #environnement #tigh2run #awareness #makeadifference #keepitclean #cleanyourcountry

Yesterday, Borderless NGO had the honor of collaborating in the "Right to Run Event," which was organized by the Beirut Marathon Association. This event was more than just a run; it carried an important message focused on both environmental awareness and spreading the culture of sports/running for a healthier lifestyle, both mentally and physically. This message created a deep emotional connection with all of us. Following the run, our children participated in a cleanup campaign along part of Beirut sea shore. This was in support of the SWIM Initiative NGO, a collaborative effort to clean up Lebanon's shoreline and raise awareness about the importance of environmental protection. It was extremely encouraging to see our children engage with such dedication and energy. Thanks to the amazing Borderless NGO team for the continuous dedication and hard work. Your efforts guaranteed that the participation of 200 children was smooth and disciplined, which contributed to the event's overall success. Thank you to the Beirut Marathon Association for organizing this outstanding event. Your foresight and diligent planning guaranteed that everyone had an amazing day. And to the SWIM Initiative NGO, we extend our sincere thanks for inviting us to take part in your vital mission of environmental preservation. This event demonstrated the power of unity, action, and the possibility of positive change when we work together. Let's hope for more fruitful partnerships in the future! #RightToRunEvent #CollaborativeAction #EnvironmentalConservation #action #positivechange #sdg3 #sdg13 #sdg15

An example to be followed in order to reduce CO2 emissions and save our Planet 💙
L'ambitieuse initiative de l'aéroport d'Amsterdam pour le climat est soutenue par la Cour d'appel : réduction du nombre de vols, interdiction des jets privés et des vols de nuit. En avril dernier, la direction de l'aéroport Schiphol avait annoncé une liste de mesures pour réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et les nuisances sonores. Un ensemble de compagnies aériennes s'étaient alors retournées contre l'aéroport pour faire annuler la décision en justice. Finalement, la Cour d'appel d'Amsterdam a décrété récemment que l'aéroport néerlandais pouvait réduire le nombre de vols en provenance et à destination de Schiphol, et ce de 500 000 à 400 000 par an pour la période 2023-2024. Les mesures vont donc pouvoir être mises en place. Un geste fort pour le climat, et une nouvelle démonstration du fait que tout est possible. Et pour nous aider à agir contre le dérèglement climatique à grande échelle, vous pouvez rejoindre la team-planet.com. Il suffit de 2 mn en ligne, sans paperasse ni engagement. À tout de suite à l'intérieur ! 💚

It was such a great pleasure to have collaborated with MATELEC SAL, a company that manufactures highly qualified power distribution transformers which prioritizes #safety and #health concerns and incorporates #environmental #awareness into their #strategicplanning and #decisionmaking process. It’s so inspiring to see #employees actively contributing to #drivingchange and #makingadifference with the company. Having witnessed a great enthusiasm https://lnkd.in/eabAkTv7 nabil aouad
As a company committed to creating a positive impact on the planet and the communities around us, it is with a lot of engagement that our team participated to an inspiring project - the beach clean up event in collaboration with Swim Initiative. It embodies Matelec's belief that a brighter future starts with collective action. What better way to demonstrate our dedication to the environment than by joining forces to clean the stunning beaches of Amchit! #Matelec #energy #transformers #distributiontransformers #environment #future #engagement #powertransformers #electricalproducts #engineering #contracting #enviromentalprotection #savetheplanet #keeptheseaclean #plasticfreesea #wastereduction #sustainabledevelopment @nabilaouad @lisasofian @swiminitiative
