Rolling Education into Refugee Camps

Many refugee children and their families fleeing conflict have found shelter in Lebanon’s refugee camps. Living in dire conditions, these families lack necessities – including education, a fundamental right for every child. Tragically, many of these young refugees have never set foot in a classroom. Our School in a Bus project addresses this crisis by bringing education directly to refugee camps in the Beqaa Valley.

Your Zakat this blessed month can give them their beginning, a way forward from hardships.

Our School in a Bus brings education to refugee children in Lebanon's camps.

Our mobile classrooms offer early childhood education for 3-5-year-olds. Children aged 6-14 receive basic numeracy and literacy classes. Young women (16-26) benefit from life skills training, including cooking and sewing. All students receive crucial psychosocial support, helping them process trauma.  Your Ramadan gift doesn’t just educate; it reintegrates hope into the lives of refugee children.

Every Lesson We Teach Rebuilds Lives That Conflict And Displacement Have Disrupted

Without these mobile schools, refugee children miss everything: socialisation, routine, and hope for a life free from crisis. We’re bringing education, vocational training, and emotional healing to children who’ve seen too much.  This Ramadan, your support empowers resilient young minds living in camps. Say Bismillah and give a child their first lesson in the most blessed month.
