SMC - Ep. 10 - Marie-Gabrielle Corm - EQUAL NGO Lebanon - April 20, 2026

What challenges do the visually impaired face during a time of war? In today’s episode, we’re speaking with Marie-Gabrielle Corm, a sociologist and the co-founder and executive director of EQUAL, a Franciscan NGO in Lebanon. We hear from Marie-Gabrielle about EQUAL’s critical work with Lebanon’s visually impaired population, the extra challenges that visually impaired people face when they are displaced in an active war zone, along with EQUAL’s work with migrants, women’s rights, child protection and much more. This is a truly unique conversation about a team with a vital mission in humanitarian aid. We encourage you to reach out to EQUAL directly to learn more about their mission and how you can help. If you know anyone involved with support to visually impaired communities, we encourage you to share this episode with them and help spread the word about EQUAL's mission.
