In highly vulnerable situations, helping young people enter the workforce is a key way to empower them to build their future. By offering tailored training, job placement support, and concrete opportunities, Asmae promotes sustainable paths to self-reliance through its “Jeunesses Actrices de leur Avenir” and “Youth for Change” programs.

In an uncertain environment, Asmae Liban is adapting its projects to ensure the continuity of essential activities, while placing the safety of its teams, partners, and beneficiaries at the forefront of its priorities.

The right to identity begins at birth. Being registered with the civil registry means being recognized by the state and having access to education, healthcare, and social protection. Without an identity, a child may find themselves excluded from essential services that should otherwise be guaranteed to them.

Every day, displaced children lose access to school, leaving them at risk of dropping out, entering the workforce too early, and facing violence. The decline in international aid is exacerbating the situation, leading to the closure of essential facilities. In response to this emergency, Asmae is working through the PEACE program to keep children in school and protect their future.

Nadeem Khaddaj, Asmae’s Country Director in Lebanon, discusses the emergency situation in Lebanon, which is experiencing a new escalation of violence and leaving many families in a state of extreme vulnerability.

Since March 1, 2026, Lebanon has been experiencing a new escalation of violence, affecting the south, the Bekaa Valley, and the southern suburbs of Beirut. In this difficult context, Asmae reaffirms its commitment to children, young people, and families in Lebanon by adapting its programs and placing the safety of staff and beneficiaries at the heart of all its decisions.
