Al Zaher was built at the
beginning of the twentieth century, by a Lebanese family. It
offers a beautiful sight with its red - painted building surrounded
by a beautiful garden, in Zarif area.
It was rented first to a Japanese delegation, then it became
the residence of the British ambassador to Lebanon.
In 1984, during the Lebanese war, the Social Welfare Institutions
bought it and called it " Al Zaher " hoping for a
better future.
This step was taken by SWI since the islamic orphanage was first
established in the same area in 1917, and since the handicapped
children lodging in Aramoun complex were displaced after the
bombing of the complex by the Israeli aviation in 1982.
Years after that, the complex was rebuilt and the handicapped
children returned there. Al Zaher became the general headquarter
of SWI for philantropy, social care, development and partnership.
The committee of the Ladies auxiliary occupies the outhouse
in " Ashghalouna ".
During years, Al Zaher was taken care for, as a valuable heritage
due to its authentic Lebanese architectural design.
It was later on furnished with adequate artistic oriental pieces
in addition to facilities for the use of computer and other
new technologies.
