STEM For Refugees Program

STEM4Refugees

STEM For Refugees, a timely innovative solution to the education of Syrian refugees: Due to the growing vulnerability of Syrian refugee children and youth in Lebanon, due to the lack of quality and relevant education offered to them, and to the increasing livelihood challenges leading more children to dropout from schools and to become exposed to child labour, exploitation and all kinds of threats including early marriage (for young girls), NGO Sonbola Group for Education & Development (Sonbola) and The Little Engineer Corporation (TLE) decided to put their respective expertise and efforts and develop jointly a program that helps those children and young adults re-connect with Education and acquire relevant knowledge and skills through meaningful and insightful learning experiences. STEM For Refugees aims to bring hope, change and fulfilment to the lives of Syrian refugee and marginalised children and youth, and prove that quality education is possible at time of conflict.
