About Teach for Lebanon

Teach For Lebanon (TFL) is an NGO working to ensure that all children in Lebanon, regardless of socioeconomic background, have access to quality education. The model of Teach For Lebanon is an education innovation that focuses on youth capacity building to provide quality intervention and systemic support for students. TFL employs and trains Lebanon’s most promising graduates, “TFL Fellows”, and places them in schools serving underprivileged refugee and Lebanese children. These Fellows receive on-going training and support to address educational disadvantages by providing transformational teaching that places their students on a path of academic success. Along the way, they become leaders and advocates for a better Lebanon.

About Call and Learn

Students attending formal education in Lebanon are in drastic need of support with their learning in order 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.
