Deirmimas is the home of 130,000 olive trees & 6,000 inhabitants. It is located 88 km South-East of Beirut, and 1 km from the Lebanon-Israel border in the Caza of Marjeyoun. Like the olives, this village and its people survived many invasions, wars, destruction and the long Israeli occupation, which lasted from 1976 until 2000.
The current Municipal Council was formed in 2004. Since then, the Municipality has been involved in many projects. These projects include:
- Digging of a well to improve the quality of water.
- Rehabilitation of roads and public spaces, such as the main village square.
- The establishment of a dispensary to offer medical treatment to the people of Deirmimas and neighbouring villages.
- The installation of electrical generator including a fully-fledged network of wires and switches to provide the majority of houses with electricity.
- The establishment of the Senior Citizens Social Club, whose aim is to bring together senior citizens for social activities.
- Supporting social groups such as the Women’s Committee of Deirmimas by providing financial aids to their various activities.
- Organizing social celebrations such as the September Festival of St. Mema, Christmas celebrations for children, Mother’s Day activities, St. Barbara’s Day carnival, also planning day trips for the elderly and the young during summer holidays.
- The establishment of the Dubai Fund for Deirmimas with the help of expatriates in Dubai.
Our work is driven by our dedication to Deirmimas and we hope that we have been transparent and efficient. We will always strive to uphold the trust of our people and thank them for their continued support and appreciation.
