School in a Bus - Read Foundation
Bridging the Learning Gap for Refugee Children in Conflict Zones
“More than 20 million children are out of school in conflict zones” – UNICEF.
Whilst the onslaught continues on the people of Lebanon, now is the time to ensure the children being served by our SIAB can maintain their education. Having fled Syria as refugees, hoping to find refuge in Lebanon, they now fall victim to yet more aggression. Support the orphans and vulnerable children though this most difficult time by ensuring they maintain some semblance of normality through regular classes. For this period, we will also be using the buses to distribute emergency aid too…but don’t let this expand to an education emergency too!
As a result of logistical difficulties in building a solid school structure and geographical challenges with the camps, READ Foundation created an innovative solution.
Welcome to our ‘School in a Bus’ programme!

How you can help
Our bus hosts a mobile classroom and drives between the refugee camps in Beqaa, Lebanon – giving up to 300 children aged 6-14 years a basic education every month.
Children who were previously growing up without any form of structured learning are now able to receive a quality education, as well as psychosocial support, in a safe and nurturing environment.
A one-off payment of £600 or a monthly instalment of £50 can support a child with tuition, school resources and food for a year.
