Experiencing education in a happy and colourful way

Experiencing education for the first time is a big event for little children.

With the support of World Vision Germany, World Vision in Lebanon is providing this opportunity for 280 vulnerable girls and boys in Beirut and Mount Lebanon, through early childhood education to enhance children’s readiness to learn and prepare them for a lifetime of learning.

This project helps children acquire relevant skills and competencies through the provision of relevant and quality Community-Based Early Childhood Education level 2.
