Moreover, in 2010, Abou Zeid was elected President of the “Maronite Rural affairs committee” in “The Maronite League”. The committee handles, in cooperation with various organizations and municipalities around the country, the development of certain projects in Maronite rural areas in the goal of encouraging Maronites to stay in their villages and prevent their migration to the capital Beirut or to outside Lebanon.[4] In 2011 the Maronite Patriarch Mar Bechara Boutros Al-Rai appointed Amal Abou Zeid as Board member in The Maronite Social Fund Council, a non-profit organization established by the Maronite church in the goal of raising money to develop low-cost housing projects to accommodate young Maronite couples or under-privileged Maronite families.
