About Teach for Lebanon
Teach For Lebanon (TFL) is a Lebanese NGO committed to ensuring that every child in
Lebanon, irrespective of their socioeconomic background, has access to quality
education. TFL employs an innovative approach that emphasizes youth capacity
building to implement impactful educational interventions and provide systemic
support for students in need.
Therefore, TFL recruits and trains Lebanon’s most promising fresh graduates, known as
"TFL Fellows," and places them in schools serving economically disadvantaged refugees and Lebanese children. These fellows receive ongoing training and support to address educational challenges through transformational teaching, guiding their students toward academic success. Throughout their journey, they evolve into leaders and advocates for a brighter future in Lebanon.
Teach for Lebanon is an independent local NGO and part of Teach for All, a global network spanning 62 countries dedicated to educational equality.

About Call and Learn
Students attending formal education in Lebanon are in drastic need of support with their learning to be able to achieve the learning outcomes according to their grade level. However, with the lack of home support and caregivers' ability to help them learn, the learning recovery of these children might be hindered, putting them at risk of dropping out of school.
The project is a hotline where students can call to get the support, they need to enable their learning. The project focuses on ensuring that girls and boys living in Lebanon are supported to learn, despite the multiple crises and severe shocks affecting them, their families, and the wider society they live in.
