Alphabetical Order supports underprivileged children at Collège Notre Dame des Soeurs Salvatoriennes – Abra, through grants and tuition fee subsidies. Our work with the school’s students and their families facing hardship began with the start of the 2021-2022 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 soon be forced to drop out of school as poverty struck families can no longer afford the cost of education following the economic collapse of their 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

“MSA is known as a diverse community which, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, provides students with education through dynamic programming, dedicated professional staff, in facilities most conducive to learning, in order to develop responsible human beings in God’s world. We encourage each child to be independent and to develop a sense of responsibility for themselves and respect for others. We are strongly committed to providing a positive, safe and stimulating milieu for children to learn, where all are valued. We intend that all children should enjoy their learning, achieve their potential and become independent life-long learners. MSA indeed empowers all students to embrace learning, achieve their personal best and build their emotional, social and physical well-being. The school aims to develop well-rounded and thoughtful students prepared to cope with a changing post-modern and globalized world and it strives to provide its graduates with an academic foundation that will enable them to gain admission to the colleges or universities of their choice as well as to succeed in those institutions. We are committed to recognizing the importance of communication and to encouraging dialogue among all constituencies, to promoting intellectual and social growth and development within the school community, to providing a safe, supportive setting so that students have the opportunity to explore and to clarify their own beliefs and values, to take risks, and to think and speak for themselves, and to recognizing and responding to individual and institutional prejudices, both overt and subtle, based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, and physical and mental ability. On the basis of what is mentioned, our commitment to our students and our dedication to impacting their education through innovative methods makes us unique despite all the socio-economic challenges the country is currently facing.”
