DUBAI: Japan will extend a grant to the Lebanese Organization for Studies and Training (LOST) to provide solid waste collection vehicles for the Nabi Chit and Sareen Tahta villages. 

Ambassador MAGOSHI Masayuki signed the grant contract on Thursday alongside Rami Lakkis, the general manager of LOST. 

The solid waste management in Nabi Chit and Sareen Tahta villages has been reduced due to Lebanon’s ongoing socio-economic crisis, which has posed a health and environmental concern for thousands of residents.

The initiative aims to enhance waste collection services, which will improve the living conditions for around 30,000 inhabitants. 

During the ceremony, Magoshi shared that Japan is committed to ensuring that Lebanon’s services are sustainable. LOST thanked the Japanese government for its support. 

This grant represents a significant step forward in addressing the critical issue of waste management in the area.
