Building a safer working culture for The Levant and the region.
LEUSI is a Netherlands-based social initiative dedicated to HSSE (Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental) awareness, training, and certification readiness for frontline workers in Lebanon and Syria and the MENA region. We connect human dignity, practical safety, and European professional standards.
Our 2026 targets
Safety is not only compliance. It is protection, dignity, and trust.
LEUSI helps workers, employers, and institutions move from reactive safety behaviour to preventive safety culture. Our work is designed for people who face real operational risks, often with limited access to structured training, certification, and institutional protection.
HSSE Awareness
Practical awareness in health, safety, security, and environmental protection for frontline workers and communities.
Training and Certification
Accessible training pathways aligned with Dutch and European safety principles, including VCA-oriented learning.
Worker Readiness
Preparing workers with the safety mindset, discipline, and professional habits expected by European and international companies.
Institutional Impact
Supporting long-term safety culture, pilot locations, and future policy development in Lebanon and the wider region.
Practical pathways from awareness to readiness.
LEUSI develops modular training and certification-oriented programs that can be adapted for workers, employers, NGOs, and public institutions.
Frontline HSSE Awareness
Simple, accessible, and practical safety learning for workers exposed to real operational risk.
Train the Trainer
Building local HSSE ambassadors who can transfer safety practices inside workplaces and communities.
Employer Readiness
Supporting responsible employers, contractors, NGOs, and institutions with safer implementation practices.
Led by infrastructure, energy transition, and HSSE delivery experience.
LEUSI is founded by Mohamad Kabbara and is based in The Hague, with experience across architecture, urban strategy, energy transition, EV infrastructure, project delivery, and HSSE governance in European and international environments.

The policy plan will define the foundation’s mission, governance, programs, financial model, partnerships, insurance needs, risk controls, and measurable impact indicators.
From individual awareness to system change.
LEUSI starts with people. We train workers, develop local safety ambassadors, support pilot locations, and use evidence from practice to strengthen safety expectations across employers, communities, and institutions.
Train
Deliver accessible HSSE learning for workers exposed to operational risks.
Organise
Develop ambassadors who can influence teams, families, and workplaces.
Pilot
Demonstrate measurable safety compliance in selected locations.
Scale

Building a credible circle of institutional, corporate, and civil society advisors.
LEUSI is developing its advisory and partnership network. Formal roles will be confirmed only after governance, responsibilities, and legal implications are clearly defined.
Energy, infrastructure, and industry
Renewable energy, maritime and seaports, airports, railways, logistics, agriculture, civil infrastructure, buildings, manufacturing, and local workshops.
NGOs, civic society, and community leadership
Community building, local development, inclusion and diversity, constituency building, worker protection, and grassroots leadership development.
Certification and standards partners
Safety training and certification pathways inspired by Dutch VCA, EU, and international standards, adapted to local realities and contextualized workplace risks.
Public, private, and PPP institutions
Public institutions, governmental bodies, private institutions, municipalities, development actors, and public private partnership platforms.
Designed for workers and the institutions that protect them.

Where we are right now.
LEUSI is in active development. Formal registration as a Netherlands-based foundation is underway. Pilot programs are planned for Q3 2026. We are currently building our advisory network and welcoming conversations with potential partners, donors, and institutional allies.
LEUSI is currently moving from foundation building into structured organizing, partnership development, and pilot preparation. For the detailed implementation pathway, please visit the step by step organizing strategy in the LEUSI Strategic Organizing Framework.
