Despite being out of the media spotlight, Lebanon continues to experience severe instability. Particularly in the southern areas, where Israeli bombardments since 2024 have never stopped, and the damage in terms of destroyed civilian structures and people still being displaced is being counted. The project fits into this delicate context, with the aim of involving 7 schools located in as many villages in the south of Lebanon, and in particular in the Governorates of Tyre and Nabatiyeh, areas that have been heavily affected by Israeli aggression during 2024, and still under pressure from repeated and continuous attacks.
The intervention, implemented together with a wide network of local partners, has 3 different components: the first focused on the rehabilitation of school buildings affected by the bombings, in order to renovate them and also make them more accessible and prepared for emergency responses, through the preparation of dedicated contingency plans for each school and specific training; the second component involves the integration of schooling paths that have been interrupted due to the conflict, through remedial classes, psychological support sessions, child protection interventions and emergency preparedness; finally, the third involves strengthening the skills of school staff in all these areas.
