Alphabetical Order supports underprivileged children at Collège Notre-Dame Sahel-Alma, 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 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

Collège Notre-Dame Sahel-Alma was established one hundred years ago and ranks among the best schools in the region of Mount Lebanon. It includes today 909 students and 98 teachers and staff.  The school believes that the future of both the family and the country is based upon well-educated citizens.
During this critical moment in the history of their educational institution, the school finds itself torn between the urge to help families whose conditions are heartbreaking, and the need to ensure teachers’ salaries and safeguard the continuity of the school.
