About Us

In response to the Beirut Port Blast, we got together as a group of scholars sharing our scholarship, expertise and a similar aspiration to work with our communities.

We were known as “Khaddit Beirut (KB)”, a grassroot movement that focused on four community-based initiatives: health, education, environment, and businesses.

In 2023, we found a home at the American University of Beirut (AUB), forming a grassroot participatory cluster under the provost’s office. We are now known as Scholar Activists for Impact and Learning for Change (SAIL for Change) as we go beyond the shake-up status in co-designing sustainable solutions with communities driven by their local needs.
