Why #Nolostgeneration?
The Syrian crisis in Lebanon is above all a crisis of childhood and youth: in 2018, more than 1.2 million children in Lebanon, including more than 500,000 Syrians, are considered vulnerable.
Among Syrian children, only 48% of children were enrolled in school in 2016-2017. But for these children, the fight does not stop there because they meet major difficulties to remain in school, because of the accumulated delay, the many traumas and discriminations undergone in the school and the economic difficulties of the families.
The school failure rate and the risk of dropping out of this population are therefore critical.
This situation threatens a generation, deprived of its right to education and at the same time its future, even though this generation is the only hope of the region when it comes the time of reconstruction. As we know, education is the first bulwark against extremism, social misery and violence.
What is sponsorship?
Since 2014, thanks to our generous donors, the educational sponsorship program aims to offer educational and psychosocial support to Syrian refugee children living in the southern suburbs of Beirut, one of the areas the most affected by the consequences of the Syrian crisis in Lebanon .
