Thanks to your kind support, our partner in Lebanon, IMS, is delivering real impact. With training in conflict resolution, mental health support, and essential life skills, young women and girls are developing the tools to heal, unite, and lead.
One of the staff members reflected on the power of the programme to foster lasting change:
“The programme has empowered the girls by enhancing their leadership skills, which are essential for becoming changemakers in their communities… By fostering self-awareness, resilience, and a commitment to social cohesion and peace, the programme equips them to face external challenges with confidence.”
We’ve also heard directly from girls like Sara, whose life has been transformed:
“Before this programme, I didn’t really believe I could make a difference. Now, I feel more confident in myself and hopeful about the future. I’ve learned how to listen, lead, and connect with people—even those who’ve had very different struggles from mine. The mental health sessions helped me understand my emotions and feel more in control. I want to be someone who brings people together, and now I believe I can be.”
At a time when Lebanon continues to face deep political, economic, and social challenges, this programme is giving young women the tools to build resilience, foster unity, and contribute to a more peaceful future. Your support is not only changing individual lives; it is helping to lay the foundations for long-term social cohesion and stability in communities that need it most.
