Alsama sets up education centres, sports hubs and social enterprises in refugee camps in Lebanon. Our projects are run for – and, in large part, run by – refugee communities.
Alsama connects worlds. We offer refugee children a diverse education, provide refugee women with an opportunity to earn an income, and we give volunteers and donors a way of engaging with a group of people who can do a great deal but need a little help.
Each teenager learns to read and write Arabic and acquires English language proficiency. They gain an understanding of budgeting and develop life-skills required in the 21st century. For refugee women, Alsama offers opportunities to earn a living.
You can’t move your brain without moving your body. So, all teenagers are encouraged to attend Yoga classes. In addition, we run sport hubs where we teach boys and girls to play a team sport.
We give the teenagers and women tools to express themselves creatively by running classes in creative writing, drawing, graffiti, film and literature. In the future we hope to add music and dance to our offering.
