2019 LB4018 * The Future is Ours

An intervention for integrated and targeted child protection, psychosocial and education support to children and youth at risk in four vulnerable Governorates in Lebanon. Children and youth, who number 55.8% of the total refugee population in Lebanon, continue to face complex protection issues. In addition, more than half of refugee children - predominantly adolescents and youth - are still out of school. Violence, exploitation and abuse against children in the home, communities and schools are recognized as main child protection concerns in Lebanon. The program will reach 8,400 refugee and host community children and youth at risk of child labour, child marriage, violence against children and child abuse. The Action will also reach 3,100 teachers, caregivers, community leaders and other actors in order to build a stronger protective environment for vulnerable children. War Child will collaborate with five local organizations who have an established presence in the targeted areas: Akkar Network and Development (AND), Lebanese Organisation for Studies and Training (LOST), the Handicap Forum, Al Ribat and Sawa. Local partners have been identified for their expertise and knowledge of the context and will be responsible for the implementation of the Action. War Child will ensure the overall technical quality of the project as well as the project and grant management.
