BEIRUT, LEBANON January 1, 2024 — Baitulmaal, a Dallas-based international humanitarian nonprofit, recently provided financial support to 18 educational centers in Lebanon to help cover operational costs, equipment and staff salaries.
These educational centers are located across Akkar, the Bekaa, and Beirut. According to Ahmed Sherif, senior manager of international programs at Baitulmaal, the project aims to access education, advance gender equality, and support lifelong learning through vocational training for youth and adults.
“We’ve seen firsthand how this support has helped schools stay open and teachers stay motivated,” Sherif said. “It’s not just funding—it’s stability for hundreds of students and their families.”
According to UNICEF, 1 in 4 children in Lebanon is currently out of school, making support for educational infrastructure and staffing critical to preventing long-term learning gaps.
In addition to providing financial support to schools in Lebanon, Baitulmaal has also provided Ramadan food packages, winter relief, emergency health kits and medical supplies, and installed electric generators to provide water.
