Al Ansar Social Committee
The social services provided by Ansar Sports Club are based on solid
institutional orientations and on the interaction of the club’s administration
and members with the society and the environment surrounding them.
Health and social care are nothing but an extension of the sport activities.
A sports club like Ansar, one which is always in contact with its wide
popular base, cannot ignore what is happening in society without taking
the initiative and responding to the social, health, and educational needs
of its environment.

Lebanese war in cooperation with Makassed Health Bureau, the Al-Ansar Health
