Alphabetical Order supports underprivileged children at Collège des Frères- Deddeh, through grants and tuition fee subsidies. Our work with the school’s students and their families facing hardship began with the start of the 2022-2023 academic year. We are conscious of the critical importance of the task that lies ahead as we work to secure grant funding for the children. In the current disastrous economic circumstances, many families of students at the school are in need of support. Our volunteers are working around the clock to raise funds to safeguard the future of these children.

In Lebanon, hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren may be forced to drop out of school as poverty struck families can no longer afford the cost of education following the economic collapse of the country. This is an unprecedented catastrophe in a country that until recently prided itself on the quality of its education.

We strongly believe that education is the only effective way out of poverty. It is integral as it transforms the fabric of society, promotes free will and independent thinking and brings about improved social and economic wellbeing.

About the school

The Collège des Frères Deddeh in Koura north Lebanon was founded in 1886 with great achievements through the years.

However, with the ongoing catastrophic crisis in our country, the collapse of its institutions and the devaluation of the Lebanese pound, our school is struggling to make ends meet. Many parents are finding it near impossible to pay their children’s tuition fees while the operational costs of running our school are constantly increasing.

 All these difficulties hinder our mission and threatens the future of our school.

We desperately need your help to survive.
