The project “Education for Better Livelihood Opportunities for Syrian and Lebanese Children and Youth in the Akkar Governorate” aims at mitigating the impact of the Syrian crisis on the future of Syrian refugee youth in the Akkar Governorate of Lebanon, particularly by addressing the need expressed by local communities for improvement of sustainable access to and retention in formal education for Syrian refugee and vulnerable Lebanese children aged 6-14 and the provision of better opportunities for Syrian refugee and vulnerable Lebanese youth aged 14-20 to sustain their livelihoods. This project is providing a holistic approach to the practical difficulties most Syrian refugees are still facing for accessing education. The main activities consist in a) an outreach campaign for fostering enrolment into public Lebanese schools, reaching more than 3,000 individuals and enrolling more than 900 Syrian children into school, b) daily retention classes (homework help) for the most vulnerable children aged 6-14 to ensure for 240 students, boys and girls, not to drop out of school and successfully complete the school-year, and c) daily vocational training combined with basic literacy and numeracy classes (BLN) for the older youth, aged 14-20 who cannot enrol in school any more, to improve livelihood opportunities. The project promotes a gender-balanced and conflict-sensitive approach that is involving all local communities to ensure sustainable results.
