Alphabetical Order supports underprivileged children at Lycée Emmanuel in Kfarchima, 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

The Lycée Emmanuel is a secular establishment which was founded in 2008 by the Hannas a family of educators.
It welcomes students of all ages and religions from kindergarten till grade 12 and provides classes in French as well as English with great results.

Our Mission is to nurture each student’s intellectual growth, creative expression, athletic accomplishments, and ethical development. Despite the current hard economic crisis the country is going through, Lycée Emmanuel has managed to maintain most of its 600 students and strives to provide them with the best conditions for a quality education.

Tuition fees is the only source of funding for Lycée Emmanuel. It is paid in Lebanese Pounds and must cover all the school expenses which have increased tenfold and have become very hard to meet.
We are facing two major problems:

• Maintenance costs and operating expenses must be paid in dollars.
• Teachers’ and employees’ salaries are eaten away by higher prices caused by soaring inflation.

The critical economic situation of our country, compounded by a healthcare system on the verge of collapse, threatens the livelihood of our school, its 60 staff members as well as the future of our 600 students.

Your help can save many students and their families.
