Our Causes
An urgent call for solidarity: help the Lebanese population in the face of the crisis!
Lebanon is enduring a new war, compounding an already catastrophic economic and social situation.
The Fond de dotation France-Liban (FdFL) is organizing a fundraising campaign to support the Lebanese people who are in the most precarious situation.
Your help is crucial to provide medical care and meet essential needs.
Thank you for your solidarity and generosity.
Empowering principals to drive innovation and social change in Lebanon's schools, in collaboration with nafda
nafda is a movement that utilizes the education sector as a channel for social transformation. Through this partnership, our aim is to empower school principals and educators to mobilize stakeholders in their schools and communities to promote engaged citizenship, good governance and social justice through different interventions.
Initiatives are implemented around 3 main pillars: school transformation projects, advocacy & community engagement, and the promotion of these values.
School Transformation Projects: We collaborate with schools to assess their specific needs and develop projects that address priorities identified by their communities. These initiatives enhance student learning experiences, build educator capacities, and foster community engagement. Key focus areas include:
- STEAM
- Equitable & Inclusive Education
- Student Skills Development
- Media & Information Literacy
- Wellbeing
Advocacy & Community Engagement: At the heart of nafda’s work lies the recognition that school principals are often overlooked yet powerful agents of change. The nafda team focuses on facilitating capacity-building opportunities to amplify principals’ leadership, agency, and advocacy skills. This is done through training, coaching, access to experts and peer-to-peer support.
Values Promotion: nafda supports schools in mapping how our 3 core values are implemented and strategizing how to achieve their goal for values implementation. We equally piloted Aal Seha, a citizenship tool that encourages students to think critically and engage in discussions on pressing issues in Lebanon, addressing the underlying causes of its socio-economic challenges.
Sponsor a child from Lebanon during their schooling
The Voice of Lebanese Women has focused since 1970 on the dignity of women through work and the education of children. In particular, it organizes sponsorships, making it possible to help children over the long term, and to create a real relationship between the donor and his godchild
Supporting the education sector in Lebanon, a guarantee for preserving the country's future.
Once, Lebanon was “the university of the Near East.” Now, the education sector is in distress, facing a triple crisis: the accelerated impoverishment of the middle class, the emigration of many teachers, and the temptation to leave among numerous students. The France-Lebanon Endowment Fund, whose commitment to supporting students is at the heart of its mission, and the NGO Beit el Baraka, which has established itself as a key player in civil society during the Lebanese crisis, have joined forces in a program that already benefits from the substantial support of Murex, a global leader in financial software and a major patron in this area. Their common goal is to ensure the education of 32,000 students in 113 schools. Your donations will enable them to continue their studies, succeed in their diplomas, choose their profession, and serve their country.
With the Sursock Museum, Beirut serves thought and culture in the Middle East.
To enable Beirut to reclaim its unique vocation in serving thought and culture in the Middle East, the FdFL has chosen the Sursock Museum.
This true architectural gem represents, through its very design, a dialogue between the two shores of the Mediterranean, with its Lebanese triple arcade and Venetian stained glass.
It was donated by its owner to the city of Beirut to become both a conservatory and a driving force for contemporary Lebanese art.
Thanks to the support of several patrons, including the FdFL, and despite the destruction caused by the double explosion of August 4, 2020, it is on its way to becoming that once again.
