We believe that every child in Lebanon, whether in public or private schools, has the right to education. In light of the ongoing crisis, our emergency response focuses on three key areas to ensure students continue learning, while also weaving the social fabric of communities through citizenship and well-being initiatives.

Sustained Education Opportunities
To prevent learning loss during this crisis, we are collaborating with different local actors to create virtual and offline learning solutions. These programs will provide displaced students and students whose schools are now shelters with flexible, self-paced learning options and give educators the resources they need to continue teaching.

Mental Health & Wellbeing Support
Educators and families have expressed an urgent need for emotional support. To address this, we are launching a series of webinars with experts and psychologists, aimed at equipping teachers and parents with tools to manage stress and foster well-being. We are also training high school students, teachers, and volunteers to lead activities that create safe, supportive spaces for displaced children in schools and shelters.

Citizenship & Community Building
We are launching initiatives to build trust, empathy, and cooperation between displaced students and local communities. Through teamwork games, collaborative tasks, and community activities, participants from different backgrounds engage in shared experiences that break down barriers and foster mutual understanding.
We are also continuing our *Aal Seha* program, a citizenship game that promotes dialogue on social issues, encouraging empathy, responsibility, and social cohesion. Our student council is leading efforts to organize community activities that unite students, further building social bonds and reducing prejudice.
