Context
Since the Lebanese war in 1975, the suburbs of Beirut have become increasingly overcrowded, hosting many refugee families mainly from Syria and Iraq. These refugee families are increasingly vulnerable as the family income is often insufficient to meet basic family needs.
Moreover, since early 2020, Lebanon has been experiencing an unprecedented social, economic and political crisis. It is estimated that more than 80% of the Lebanese population is now living below the poverty line, with no concrete prospect of improvement to date.

Beneficiaries
Iraqi and Syrian refugee children in Beirut, as well as displaced Lebanese children.
Results
The project made it possible to :
– promote openness and facilitate the integration of refugees into the local population
– provide training in reconciliation and peace for all these children of different nationalities
– improve the children’s level of education, while opening them up to other artistic and sporting activities, etc
– improve the English level of the teenagers and their parents
– organise summer camps for the children.
Between 2015 and 2018, more than 200 children aged 8 to 16 from refugee and/or vulnerable families benefited from the support ; 87 young adults have been able to attend English classes.
More than 200 children benefited from the summer camps in 2020 and 2021.
