Education in Lebanon

  • P Project/Program

A Active

Key Information

Since 2016, Luminos has provided high-quality education to 9,479 vulnerable children in Lebanon. Our program supports refugee children who are both out of school and ineligible to enroll in formal education, as well as refugee students in school who need extra support to maintain their academic standing and progress to the next grade level. We help these children develop their foundational skills in Arabic, English, and Math, and have a particular focus on supporting their psychosocial well-being. In the current school year, children learn in-person between three and five days a week, and learn remotely for up to two days using digital resources like WhatsApp.

Luminos’ work in Lebanon includes a psychosocial support component that aims to build children’s resilience, and continues to be a key lifeline for Syrian refugee children who are either out-of-school, or who are in school but at risk of dropping out.
