Two Lebanese youth offer migrant workers a way back home

In a damp room with a few rotting pieces of furniture and old mattresses on the floor, seven migrant women sit hugging their belongings, a Kenyan flag hanging behind them on the wall. A Lebanese woman walks into the apartment, located in a poor area east of Beirut, and the migrants rush excitedly to hug her. Déa Hage-Chahine and Serge Majdalani are two young Lebanese who have partnered on a mission to repatriate domestic migrant workers stranded in Lebanon by the worst economic crisis in the country’s modern history.
