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
