Project Background

The project “Promoting the Right to Education for All- Investing in a Community of Educated, Autonomous Citizens in South Lebanon” aims at broadening the prospects for vulnerable populations in three communities in South Lebanon through improved access to education (Improving the learning performances, enhancing the learning environment, engaging the local community in the promotion of education).

The project will benefit 800 children, youth, and caregivers from the most vulnerable populations in South Lebanon. Of these 800, 600 will be children (between the ages of 6 and 14), 100 youth (between 15 and 24 years old), and 100 adults (25 years and older), mainly caregivers
of the children participating in the activities. The 600 children, 400 children attend school and 200 do not attend school (They are taught Basic Literacy and Numeracy (BLN) to give them the basic tools to continue their education). The youth will participate in project activities, especially Youth Basic Literacy Numeracy
(YBLN), transferable skills training, psychosocial support, and community committees and initiatives as needed. These are usually young people who have difficulties finding work or educational opportunities. The adults are targeted through project activities, especially Adult Basic Literacy Numeracy (ABLN), transferable skills training, psychosocial support, and community committees and initiatives as needed. The target group is illiterate adults who have not gone to school or have dropped out of primary education. They will mostly be from the refugee community and usually the caregivers of the students enrolled in the project activities.
