Description
In 2016, Lebanon has the highest concentration of refugees per capita, due to the prolonged conflict in Syria. The refugee influx from Syria to Lebanon has caused, among other issues, major damage to existing public infrastructure in Lebanon, including in the education sector. The main goal of this project is to improve the schooling environment for children in Syrian refugee communities through rehabilitation of infrastructure in primary schools. The project will enable a safe and healthy educational environment for 2,400 children attending 12 primary schools in regions of Beirut, North Lebanon and Mount Lebanon, primarily in areas with high refugee concentration. The project will focus mainly on reconstruction of sanitary facilities, access to drinkable water through water tanks and water filters, balustrades and safety barriers installation, electricity installation and fixing, weatherproofing leaking roofs and providing enhanced access to schools for disabled students.
