Together we lead a way for a better future
Overview Lebanon Programme
Since February 2014, Connect Children Now/DCI grassroots nongovernmental organization has been at the forefront of child protection efforts in Lebanon, focusing on shielding children from violence, abuse, and exploitation. Our Lebanon program specifically targets refugee children, working children, and Lebanese children affected by violence and abuse.
Development Program
Our Development Program is designed to enhance the capacity of local authorities on international conventions and collaborate with civil society organizations to bolster protection measures for working children and children who are victims of violence. Through a community-based approach, we aim to build the resilience of vulnerable groups through outreach and center-based activities. These include providing psychosocial support through creative skills training such as yoga and dance, conducting awareness classes, and organizing recreational activities for children and their parents. By empowering them to overcome challenges and mitigate the effects of trauma, we strive to combat feelings of powerlessness, resentment, fear, and uncertainty among children and young people.
New Project Initiative
Currently, CCN/DCI is in the planning stages of a new project aimed at diffusing tensions and reducing conflicts among Lebanese and refugee children in schools. This project is being meticulously designed and planned in consultation and coordination with Parents & Teachers Associations (PTA) and the national scouts. Our goal is to foster a harmonious environment where children can learn and grow without the burden of intergroup tensions and conflicts.
At Connect Children Now/DCI, our Lebanon Program is dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Through collaborative efforts and targeted interventions, we are committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community and ensuring a brighter future for all children in Lebanon.
