As we prepare for the 'Education is for Everyone' fundraising event on August, 2024, we are reminded of Nelson Mandela's powerful words: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." It's disheartening to know that globally, 48% of refugee children are currently out of school. At Future Academy, we believe that every child should have access to education, regardless of their circumstances. That's why we are dedicated to providing educational, sporting, and leisure activities for refugee children in Beirut. Many of our students are effectively stateless and will spend their entire lives in a refugee camp. For them, emotional wellbeing and interpersonal skills are just as crucial as academic success. Our innovative curriculum utilizes games to enhance academic performance and foster resilience. With your support, 100% of donations to Future Academy will be used to deliver equity in the classroom and increase social mobility for some of the world's forgotten children.
