Who We Are
Since 2018, Shabebik has been bringing people and partners together to unlock opportunities, empower communities, and create lasting impact across Lebanon.
Faten Zein’s journey reflects the strength of a woman who has built her path across family, professional achievement, and more than 20 years of community service. A mother of two and an experienced professional in the pharmaceutical sector, specializing in supply chain and logistics, she has built her career while remaining deeply committed to humanitarian and community work.
Bringing these worlds together has shaped her leadership: purpose-driven, people-centered, and grounded in action, with a commitment to creating opportunities and driving meaningful change across Lebanon.
