26 Letters: a democratic school

At the age of 19, Janira met Salah. Salah came from Syria and, at the age of 13, he was selling flowers on the Lebanese streets to survive. He couldn't go to public school so Janira created one for him. They called it 26 Letters. Our school now helps 450 families through education, medical assistance and the provision of basic products. Our families have survived a war, the explosion in Beirut and Covid-19. Now they face extreme poverty. Help them survive!

450 familias migrantes, refugiadas y locales en el Líbano

El 73% de la población libanesa vive en la pobreza. 9 de cada 10 refugiados sirios viven en la pobreza extrema. Nuestras familias se ven obligadas a tomar decisiones impensables: comida o alquiler, electricidad o ropa, atención médica o educación. Para muchos ahora sólo hay una prioridad y es sobrevivir. La vida sólo se puede vivir día a día. - 73% of the Lebanese population lives in poverty. 9 out of 10 Syrian refugees live in extreme poverty. Our families are being forced to make unthinkable decisions - food or rent, electricity or clothes, healthcare or education. For many there is now only one priority and that is to survive. Life can only be lived on a day by day basis.

What a beautiful moment! A brother teaching his own sister! When Onar and Zeina started studying with us, we could carry Zeina in our arms because she was so small! But, of course, that was 7 years ago! How time flies and how fast they grow!

¡Qué momento más bonito! ¡Un hermano enseñando a su propia hermana! Cuando Onar y Zeina empezaron a estudiar con nosotrxs, ¡podíamos coger a Zeina en brazos de lo pequeñita que era! Pero, claro, ¡eso fue hace 7 años ya! ¡Cómo pasa el tiempo y qué rápido crecen!
