What we do?
SB OverSeas is a non-profit organisation based in Belgium dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to refugees and victims of conflict.
Our operations are divided into the following three activities: education, emergency aid and empowerment.
SB OverSeas works with refugees in two geographical focus areas: Lebanon and Belgium. In Lebanon, we distribute emergency aid and run educational and empowerment programs in our three centres based in Arsal, Beirut and Saida. In Belgium, we work with unaccompanied minors in order to foster integration in three reception and transit centres.
Education
Our educational program in the centers relays on supporting children in the community surrounding the center with the educational curriculum that children receives in Lebanese public schools, it also prepares dropout students with the same curriculum that includes English and French, mathematics, science and life skills that the student needs to develop his abilities and capabilities within the surrounding community.
