Our Story
The wound and the witness
What happened to the headquarters is not a detail in the story; it is the heart of the campaign. The war did not only destroy walls. It interrupted a space that gathered children and youth around music, sports, scouting, and culture.
Before they were musicians, athletes, or scouts, Alissar’s children and youth learned to be citizens: to meet around what they share, respect their differences, and carry responsibility for one another and their community.
Since 2004, Alissar has gathered young people in Tyre from different families, communities, and backgrounds. Inside this space, music became a shared language, sports a school of discipline, scouting a practice of service, and friendship a bridge across division.
Alissar’s headquarters was never just a building. It was a living space shaped by the spirit of Tyre: sea, stone, history, and an open home for music, sports, scouting, culture, and human connection.
Generations trained there, the orchestra played there, families met there, and friendships crossed neighborhoods and communities. When the war destroyed the headquarters, Tyre’s youth lost more than walls, equipment, and instruments; they lost a safe space that gave them belonging, opportunity, and hope.
The campaign is not waiting for the destroyed building to be reconstructed. The practical step now is to rent and equip an alternative headquarters, restore life to Tyre’s young people, and open the door for a new generation.
The Spirit of Tyre
Alissar draws its colors and spirit from Tyre: the warmth of stone, the blue of the sea, the life of the port, and people bound by a shared history despite their different backgrounds.
From Tyre’s sea and fishing port, Alissar draws patience, openness, and work that brings generations together.
Among the castle stones and ancient ruins, we preserve the memory of an old city while building a new future.
Young people from different neighborhoods and backgrounds meet around the city and the human being, not division.
Music, sports, and scouting become a shared language that turns difference into friendship and citizenship.
Programs
We invest in the human being through connected programs that build skill, character, and citizenship.
Instrument training, a youth orchestra, volunteer teachers, and public performances that gather the city around one shared language.
Football, table tennis, and physical activities that build teamwork, discipline, and self-confidence.
Scouting camps, community service, and practical training that shape responsible and active young people.
Cultural seminars, national celebrations, and artistic activities that strengthen citizenship and openness.
Teaching civic identity and preserving the historical and cultural presence of Tyre.
The war destroyed the place, but hope is strongerAlissar Rises Again Campaign
Alissar’s headquarters was destroyed inside a fully collapsed building, and there is still no clear public plan or budget to rebuild the area. That is why the campaign follows an urgent and realistic path: rent an alternative headquarters in Tyre, equip it, and restart the programs.
