Community Development

Social workers, present in the MSL centres, constantly monitor the beneficiary families and help them to face their difficulties and find solutions to their problems.

Education

The MS works in two neighbourhoods of Beirut, Sin El Fil and Jnah, which are home to many of the poor migrants and refugees in the Lebanese capital. The children in these neighbourhoods come from underprivileged families, often unable to assist them in their studies, and the tutoring offered by the MS helps them stay in school and benefit from their education.

The link made with the schools where the children attend allows a constant follow-up of the difficulties encountered by the pupils, and to offer them support adapted to their problems and constraints. Furthermore, in Jnah, the MSL has organised a kindergarten on its premises for the youngest children.

On Saturdays and during the holidays, the MSL organizes various cultural and sports activities for the children benefiting from its programmes.

Protection from Abuse

The MSL organizes training and awareness-raising sessions for parents on the themes of positive parenting and intra-family communication.

Project

Around the School: Education and Leisure Activities

Project's Objective

Reduce inequalities in access to education, leisure and civic participation of children and young people in difficulty (girls and boys) by giving them access to quality educational opportunities and social and human support.

Presentation of an emblematic activity

In Lebanon, the school system provides homework and lessons that require support at home. However, the majority of our beneficiary families do not have the necessary level to help them, nor the means to pay for private lessons, nor the quiet place to study. As a result, tutoring is an extra-curricular follow-up carried out at the Social Movement with the aim of promoting the children’s academic success and development. They come from school, have their meals with their friends at the Centres and then begin their studies. The sessions are devoted to the relearning of notions and methods that they have not managed to assimilate. They also include individual follow-up work by the educator who will be able to answer questions from each other, in groups of 12 to 15 students depending on the class. In addition, there is also coordination with schools for more relevant follow-up and social and psychological support to ensure their well-being.
