Roumieh, Metn Caza: The Mar Doumit School

School Library

$35,000

Located in the village of Roumieh, The Mar Doumit School provides an education to students from 25 villages and towns in Metn region: 355 in the kindergarten sections, 527 in the primary sections, 280 in the complementary sections and 245 in the secondary sections.

All of these students will benefit from a new library. The first phase of the development includes equipping the library with computers, internet access, an interactive board with LCD projector, a color copier and the furnishings (tables, chairs, and bookshelves). The second phase includes installing additional bookshelves and a reception area. At the end of the project over a thousand students will benefit from access to thousands of books and a modern research system.

The total cost of this project is $41,618. EOL will provide $35,000 and Mar Doumit School will partner by contributing $6,618.

Cheik Mohammed: Our Lady of Deliverance

Waterproofing

$18,000

Our Lady of Deliverance School serves 395 diverse students in the poor region of Akkar in Northern Lebanon. They have an incredible mission of providing education without discrimination to provide young people with the cultural, spiritual and moral foundations.

However, they must operate with very limited funds. In the two buildings that make up the school campus there has been ongoing water damage. The situation has gotten worse over the years without the ability to waterproof the building. At one-point large pieces of concrete even fell into the playground area! It is so important the children are safe. The school did their best to restore the buildings with a small budget, but it was ineffective. 

The school desperately requires $18,000 to quickly waterproof the building and fix this problem.

Bcharreh: St. Joseph School

Rehabilitation & Waterproofing

$25,000

The Saint Joseph School is located in the remote region in Northern Lebanon in a Christian village. It serves 384 students.

Despite the financial hardships of the school, the director of the school Sister Christine Asmar has managed to renovate part of the school through fundraising efforts. Still, the school suffers and needs help. She is seeking aid to waterproof the roof and paint the buildings. But most importantly, to she needs funds to heat the school. This is especially important since the school is located in a cold and mountainous region.

Students should have a safe, warm, and comfortable environment to study. You can help make that happen.

Save Lebanon's Schools: The Vulnerable 30

The Save Lebanon’s Schools group was formed to help Catholic schools across the country. Many are in jeopardy of being shut down and need assistance to survive. Our current goal is to focus on 30 extremely vulnerable schools.

With your help, we aim to raise $2 million. The first $1 million raised will pay tuition for students who may otherwise have to leave school. Additional funds raised will help pay teachers’ salaries, cover school maintenance and utility bills, and provide information technology and online curriculum.

EOL, the project manager, is a volunteer-run initiative that has assisted Lebanese schools since 2007.

CNEWA, EOL’s funding partner, is a U.S. 501(c)(3). All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
