Education

  • Access
  • Quality
  • School management
  • Extracurricular activities

The organisation organises training for teachers and school staff in order to improve the quality of teaching in AUEED schools and in other schools in the intervention zone.

The organisation has set up subsidy systems to enable the poorest households to send their children to AUEED schools, which are of better quality than public schools.

The AUEED have a network of several private schools in Upper Egypt, that allows children from more remote and poor community to have access to an education of great quality.

AUEED manages community centers that allows children to have access to cultural and sport activities (for instance, Theatre, Journalism, Library, Music, Scientific, Scouts, Community Service, practical activities, sport and Tahteeb).

Health and Nutrition

  • Prevention
  • Nutrition

At the beginning of each school year, AUEED test its schools’ students to detect malnourishment issues and nutritional deficiencies. Based on this test, a specific care is given.

Every school day, children identified with malnourishment and nutritional deficiences are given a meal designed by a nutritionist, as well as food supplement if needed.

Health and Nutrition

  • Direct intervention
  • Prevention
  • Nutrition
  • Special Needs

SESOBEL has quality medical facilities and highly qualified staff at its centre to provide the children with the regular care they need.

SESOBEL prevents disability-related nutritional disorders ranging from severe undernutrition to morbid obesity. Children or adults with physical disabilities, multiple disabilities or progressive illnesses are at high risk of developing swallowing disorders that lead to undernutrition. A multidisciplinary team made up of doctors, speech therapists and dieticians is required to diagnose eating disorders as well as the management, which is important to avoid complications such as enteral feeding. Similarly, obesity among young people with disabilities, such as those with Down’s syndrome, puts them at risk of developing medical problems. Prevention of these problems is important through a healthy, varied and diversified diet.

SESOBEL provides parents with information on healthy eating through parental guidance and training.

SESOBEL welcomes different types of disabilities: motor, intellectual (including Down’s syndrome), multiple disabilities and autism. SESOBEL offers care adapted to the needs of these children and young people. Their nutrition is under the supervision of a dietician who makes sure that each child receives an adequate diet (ground food, diet for diabetes, obesity…).

Project

Development of educational programmes

Project objective

Ensure the development of children with disabilities in all aspects of their lives and promote their social integration.

Emblematic activity presentation

“Inclusion of children with disabilities in public schools, a pilot and pioneering project in Lebanon. This project was born to meet the needs of children with slight disorders or difficulties in learning and requiring early education. However, these children with intellectual, sensory or motor disabilities, chronic illnesses, mild or moderate cerebral palsy, or with learning disorders or difficulties at school have higher learning abilities than children integrated in special education centres.

Moreover, the country’s school system was not adapted to the needs of these children: class size, traditional teaching method, overcrowded curriculum, lack of para-medical staff. SESOBEL, took the lead and started in October 2006 the School Inclusion of Children with Special Needs in collaboration with the public primary school in Jezzine in South Lebanon. The overall goal of inclusion is to ensure the good development of the child in an inclusive context by working with families, schools and the environment. It has two systems of inclusion:

1- Total Inclusion with learners with disorders or difficulties in a regular class: the student spends all his time in school, except for possible therapeutic supports that could take place in school or outside.

2- Partial Inclusion with learners with an intellectual or motor disability in a specialized class within the school: the student spends only part of the normal school time. At the other time, he follows other activities with appropriate re-education.

Community Development

  • Social Work

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

  • Access
  • Quality
  • Extracurricular activities

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

  • Awareness

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.

Presentation of an emblematic activity

The Ibda’a Music Academy has grown exponentially over the last year, therefore Ibda’a has adapted our programming to accommodate increased interest. Research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects and enhances skills that children inevitably use in other areas including; language development, increased IQ and improvement in test scores, increased spatial-temporal skills, as well as increased use of the creative side of the brain. The music school will provide youth the opportunity to learn to play the violin, cello, or qanun. Our talented instructors are provided through our partnership with the Edward Said Conservatory for music.
