Our Missions.

To encourage the displaced, orphans, and the children of the war to concentrate on their own creativity and abilities.
To help children overcome the cruel memories of the war and ensure their integration into society.
To create links between Syrian children and the children of the world.
To start an educational project based on dignity as a means of humanitarian assistance.
To highlight the potential powers of Syrian children.
To offer an education to every deprived Syrian child in the area.
To create a new outlook for the future of Syrian displaced students.

What makes us unique among the refugee schools

We have a school psychologist to counsel and assist the children, especially those who have been traumatized by the war.
We promote a strong sense of moral values and duties towards others. For example, each month the staff and children focus on and promote a particular moral value.
We recruit qualified teachers – both Lebanese- and Syrian-qualified teachers.
We have art therapy programmes for the children.
We are using a curriculum that is accessible to the parents, allowing them to contribute to the education of their children.
Using mind abacuses.

The Obstacles:

There are over 400,000 Syrian children in Lebanon; there is only UNICEF funding for 200,000 of them to attend Lebanese government schools, while the remainder are not provided for.
The Lebanese government does not permit students of Syrian refugee schools to sit Lebanese government school exams, which makes it difficult for them to then integrate into the Lebanese education system.
There is minimal cooperation from the United Nations and its agencies.
The schools need to work under the auspices of foreign NGOs since Lebanese policy obstructs the foundation of Syrian NGOs on its territory.
Due to a lack of funding, the school must ask refugee parents to contribute to the school.
The school is only able to run for as long as funding is available. The continued functioning is therefore dependent on the continued goodwill of donors.
Harassment of female students on their journeys back from school discourages attendance; however, there is inadequate funding for school transport to be provided.
Socioeconomic problems and a lack of future employment opportunities result in a high drop-out rate from the age of ten onwards.
It is difficult for refugees to fulfill the requirements for obtaining residency papers.

Why we set up in Lebanon

Over 1,400,000 Syrians have fled their homes to Lebanese towns especially in the north of Lebanon.
Lebanon is a safe place for refugee children to complete their education, far away from the war.
There is a pressing need for education of Syrian children outside Syria, especially in countries such as the Lebanon which have taken in large numbers of refugees.
Support and assistance from the Lebanese government in terms of provision of security and local government co-operation.
To provide emotional, physical and educational support to refugee Syrian children who are living in very hard circumstances North of Lebanon.
