Education Fund
About Our Education Program
Due to the on-going economic and financial crisis that caused a 98% devaluation of Lebanese currency, enrolment in Lebanon educational institutions for youth (age 15-21) has dropped from 60% to 43% in 1 year alone (2021-2022). Source
Parents are unable to pay for tuition costs, books, and school transportation as these costs are now incurred in US dollars, yet salaries are paid in local currency.
