The Story of Terwi2et Zaher

Honoring Tradition and Nourishing Families

Terwi2et Zaher was created to honor Mary Zaher’s legacy of warmth, generosity, and deep love for family. Her kitchen was a place where community, tradition, and shared joy flourished, a spirit that Terwi2et Zaher carries forward in her memory.

This program celebrates the significance of the classic Lebanese breakfast, offering nourishing essentials like labneh, bread, and eggs, symbols of culture and togetherness.

Through monthly breakfast parcels, Terwi2et Zaher ensures that families in need begin their day with a wholesome meal, embodying Mary Zaher’s spirit and unwavering belief in care and connection.

No one should miss the most important meal of the day!

In Lebanon, breakfast is a cherished tradition, rich with stories, memories, and flavors passed down through generations.

The Importance of Breakfast

Each ingredient, wild thyme, sesame seeds in zaatar, creamy labneh with olive oil, and tangy olives, tells a tale of heritage and connection.

This meal nourishes both body and soul, tying us to our land and community. Yet, for many families, economic hardship has turned this once-essential ritual into an unaffordable luxury.

Ensuring Breakfast for Everyone

At Terwi2et Zaher, we believe that a healthy start to the day is a right, not a privilege. Our program is dedicated to providing balanced, nourishing breakfasts to families in need, ensuring they can begin each day with sustenance and hope.

Every month, we deliver breakfast boxes packed with essential staples directly to families’ homes. These boxes include:

Milk
Laban
Labneh
Bread
Jam
Eggs
Cereals
Zaatar
Olive Oil

Join us in making sure every family starts their day with the nourishment they deserve!
