The Students

Most of our students are Syrian refugees in the Shatila camp in Beirut, Lebanon. Aged between 12-24 years old, many had no formal education before starting to study at the Alsama Institute.

The students also receive 5 hours each of Arabic, English and Math every week.

11 months later, the first Alsama Secondary Education Institute opened its doors to 200 students aged 12-24.
