Since 2019, Lebanon has been going through a deep descent into hell. The country's bankruptcy, the collapse of the Lebanese pound, the corruption of the government and the "ungovernability" of the country are having a terrible economic impact on the Lebanese people.

Goal

Relieve the lives of the Lebanese people, while waiting for the situation to evolve,
Support private school, which guarantees a good education for children.

Since the explosion in the port of Beirut, in August 2020, Mission Enfance has been permanently distributing emergency aid to pupils, families, teachers... We operate via the educational centres that we have been supporting for nearly 30 years in Lebanon. We will finance the school reinforcement of Syrian and Lebanese children in our two centres of Deir Al Ahmar (Bekaa plain) and Roueisset (Beirut suburb).
