Background: 

The Enable project was launched in 2019 to offer quality education services to the most vulnerable children living in the vicinity of the Amel center in Ain Remmaneh. The project aims to empower the most vulnerable children in their learning journey through their successful school retention. More specifically, the project aims at improving quality retention of vulnerable school-aged children (6-15 years old) in public and semi private schools through Non-Formal Education while also ensuring

In the Enable project, 8 educators, 6 drivers, one cleaner, one PSS animator, one social worker, and one psychologist work all together along with the field officer.
