The organization was founded in memory of Karim Sabeh Ayon, who tragically passed away in a car accident in March 2017 at the age of 21.

His legacy continues through Enta Karim, which carries forward his spirit of humanitarian action, love, and compassion.
Guided by our mission and reflected in our slogan — “To Keep Drawing the Smile”, we work to spread hope, dignity, and support to communities in need across Lebanon.
Our Story
On his 21st birthday, Karim Sabeh Ayon, a third-year engineering student, tragically passed away in a devastating car accident. His sudden departure left his family, friends, and all who knew him in deep shock and sorrow.
Karim was known for his pure heart, his innocent and loving smile, and his joyful spirit that touched everyone without exception. His presence brought happiness, kindness, and light to those around him.
In 2018, on the first anniversary of his passing, Karim’s family and childhood friends established “Enta Karim,” which translates to “You Are Generous” — to honor his memory. The organization was created to eternally link his name with acts of goodness and compassion. Its guiding motto, “To Keep Drawing the Smile,” reflects the way Karim himself was a source of love and joy to everyone he met.
