In the wake of Lebanon’s deep-seated challenges, a shared desire for sustainable societal transformation led to the birth of nafda. We realised that if we want to see change in Lebanon, what is truly central is the issue of disconnection and disenfranchisement.  

This movement emerged from the collective will to leverage education and communities as a powerful catalyst for change, by fostering connections and leveraging leaders’ sense of agency. Recognizing the untapped potential within Lebanon’s schools, nafda is a collective that unites and empowers educators, leaders, and community members to foster grassroots transformation. 

nafda rethinks social transformation by utilizing education as a channel to change mindsets and behaviors. It is a movement by the people and for the people.
