Machrou3 3al Tari2: A Mobile Van Serving Coffee, Snacks, and Acts of Kindness

Ever heard of this adorable convenience van that’s kindness on wheels? Machrou3 3al Tari2 moves through the streets of Lebanon serving coffee, snacks, and small acts of kindness.

It’s part dekkene, part community, and all heart.

Founded by Dorothy and Lamitta, the point of this initiative is to provide support and essential services to those who need it. “We left our regular jobs and started spending time on the streets with the kids,” they explain.

Mornings might include haircuts for little ones, while snacks and meals are handed out with love. Every interaction, no matter how small, can brighten someone’s day.

In a city always on the move, Machrou3 3al Tari2 slows things down. Just enough for a smile, a snack, or a kind gesture! This brilliant initiative mobilizes charity work, creativity, and community spirit, bringing coffee, treats, and small acts of kindness directly to the streets of Lebanon.

The van participates in festivals, birthdays, and public events, staying on the move from dawn to dusk. There’s no fixed limit to where it goes, selling coffee, handmade goods, and more.

At its core, Machrou3 3al Tari2 highlights the power of community and grassroots charity work. By taking support directly to people’s neighborhoods, the initiative shows how small, consistent acts of kindness can strengthen social bonds, create trust, and inspire others to contribute.

In a country facing economic and social challenges, efforts like this are vital. They remind us that positive change doesn’t always happen from the top down, but often begins on the streets, through human connection and generosity.
