Codebrave

CodeBrave is responding to Lebanon’s urgent need to equip the next generation with the tech and cognitive skills that align with the demands of the future workforce. Having started as a grassroots project at an orphanage in Kahaleh, we have since taught students at 80 schools and centres. We believe all children have the right to a great education and future opportunities to fulfil their potential. We have a bold vision: to introduce computer science and AI education as standard for all children in Lebanon starting at age 10. This initiative will be transformative for Lebanon, creating opportunities for young people and boosting the economy. This is a smart solution to an urgent problem: 88% of Lebanese tech companies report struggling to find the talent they need, while the tech sector in MENA is projected to grow fourfold from 2022 to 2030. Yet, schools in Lebanon leave youth ill-equipped, teaching an IT curriculum last updated in 1997, with youth unemployment at 48%. Candidates with tech skills can fill gaps at local companies or work remotely to meet the growing need in the region. We operate through two modalities: trained CodeBrave teachers directly delivering classes to students or by upskilling local school teachers through intensive training and coaching to deliver our accredited curriculum to their students. Since 2020, we’ve come a long way- students aged 7-21 gained computer science and digital skills with CodeBrave, mainly through classes delivered as part of their school timetable- 53% of our students are female- 144 teachers at 80 public schools have been upskilled to deliver computer science & AI education independently- 95% positive outcomes from our WebDev graduates (securing internships, jobs or university scholarships).

Nusaned

Nusaned is a humanitarian, community-based and volunteer organization. We believe that the power to create change comes from working collaboratively. Nusaned does not engage in any political activity, and remains at equal distance from all religions. We support communities based on a non-biased, egalitarian and value-based needs assessment process. As the Lebanese economy struggled, businesses shuttered, unemployment rates reached unprecedented levels, and poverty numbers spiked, the management team at Sirajart unanimously agreed to divert the company’s commitment and energy towards charitable social work. Their move was envisioned as an integral part of their corporate social responsibility. This shift proved to be the catalyst to create Nusaned in December 2019, just two months after the October 17th Uprising in Lebanon. Nusaned began by reaching out to local stakeholders in North Lebanon, seeking to address agricultural deficiencies of marginalized rural communities. The poverty, deprivation, and substandard living conditions of local residents prompted our team to respond quickly by providing much-needed food parcels, hygiene kits and clothing, while also initiating the rehabilitation of homes. Through those spontaneous actions came the building blocks of Nusaned’s agriculture and housing projects, which gradually evolved from an aid model into a platform to foster self-sufficiency and economic sustainability for these communities. Our vision is to empower the marginalized Lebanese communities, throughout Lebanon, to live sustainably. Our mission is to support under-served Lebanese communities to become self-sustaining by offering access to food security, building shelter and providing ongoing opportunities for productive economies. We do this through innovative and effective partnerships with communities as well as locally engaged, international organizations and donors.

Les Scouts Du Liban

L’association des Scouts du Liban, fondée en 1938, est une des plus anciennes associations scoutes libanaises. Fondée sur un esprit d’éducation à la citoyenneté et au service, Les Scouts du Liban sont, depuis leur fondation, affiliés à la grande fraternité mondiale du scoutisme (Bureau Mondial Du Scoutisme), à l’assemblée des Patriarches et des Evêques Catholiques du Liban, APECL (elle y a le statut d’une commission) et depuis 1972 à la Conférence Internationale Catholique du Scoutisme. Ce développement important de l’association est dû à son ouverture aux jeunes sans distinction de religion ou de classe sociale et dans la fidélité à ses valeurs: la fraternité, la solidarité et le service. L’association est présente dans 112 écoles et paroisses sur tout le territoire libanais. Elle compte aujourd’hui plus de jeunes garçons et filles âgés de 8 à 30 ans.
