It all started with a small suitcase full of children's clothes, which we transported to Lebanon in 2013 for the Syrian refugee children. However, we soon realized that clothes were not enough to offer the children protection and hope. The suitcase became a community center for over 140 refugee children from Syria and other vulnerable young people from different nations. Regardless of political or religious affiliation.
In January 2016, our school "Nour" opened its doors and has grown steadily and successfully since then. Other important school programs such as special education, music school, creative workshop, computer courses and literacy classes for mothers, have been added.
The education of children is essential, creates security and is the only possibility to build up an own existence in the future. In recent years we have been able to accompany many impressive stories and see how our Community Center has become an important refuge and a place of security. Our concept of direct help through education works especially because we are on site ourselves with our partner organization "Beit Bil Jnoub" and know and select the teachers personally. The transformation is impressive and proof that our concept is bearing fruit. In a very short time, the children blossom and learn much more than reading and writing. They are building self-confidence and learning respect for one another. With our organization, we are doing everything we can to ensure that this important project continues in a sustainable and lasting way.
