The Education and Empowerment Center in Arsal is located in the Al Nahria camp, making it easily accessible for our students.
We do focus on two main programs in the center.
First is the non-formal education program that includes children between (4-14) years old who are out of school, this program aims to improve their academic level by providing the Lebanese curriculum containing Arabic, French language, math, arts, and life skills courses, in addition to weekly science classes and PSS activities. This program gives children the opportunity to enroll in public schools or ALP, also aims to create a safe space for the children in the center where they can play and learn.
Second is the empowerment program, which aims to empower youth and women through literacy as well as social and economic opportunities by providing Arabic, French, life skills, and computer skills courses. This training allows women to create their own products, which we market and sell on their behalf to support their incomes. 100% of the proceeds from products sold goes directly back to the women who made them.
Along side with these programs there is always a psychological support offered by a full time psychologist located in the center during working hours to support any need.
