Elias Khoury Association

Making Lebanon better, one student at a time

 

Hope will prevail

The Elias Khoury Association is a nonprofit organization that aims to grant scholarships to underprivileged students, especially those aspiring to specialize in architecture and fine arts, Elias Khoury's all-time dream.

Elias Khoury

2004 - 2020

Elias was only 15 years old when the 2020 Beirut Port Blast gravely wounded him. He didn't make it past two weeks, devastating his family, friends, and classmates who have been relentlessly commemorating his memory.

The Association

When Elias left this world, his family took action to honor him and keep his memory alive. Elias loved and was loved; through him, many students will be offered a chance to explore, learn, and make their dreams come true.

“Part of our hearts has gone forever. We are like breathing dead people; dead people have nothing to lose. We will continue fighting for justice and accountability.”

— Mireille Khoury, Mother of Elias Khoury
