RET, Protecting through Education Lebanon (RET Lebanon)
About | RET, headquartered in Geneva was founded in December 2000 by Mrs Sadako Ogata, then United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. RET is committed to assisting communities to meet the educational needs, in the broadest sense, of young people made vulnerable by displacement, violence, armed conflict and disasters. RET's programmes provide young people with the protective environments and necessary skills to face the threats emanating from displacement, such as violence, recruitment into illegal armed groups, child labour, sexual exploitation, forced marriage or narcotrafficking. Through its interventions, RET strengthens communities and transforms vulnerable young people into responsible, employable and self-reliant citizens. Since its inception, RET has been active on three continents, in 23 countries (over 120 projects), of which 17 have been over multiple years. Currently RET is managing interventions in 10 countries . In Lebanon, RET will launch operations in North Lebanon with activities focusing on livelihood opportunities for vulnerable women head of households and other vulnerable conflict affected family members, remedial classes for out-of-school children & youth coupled with educational support to in-school children and youth, as well as peacebuilding programmes aiming at fostering peaceful social and vocational integration of Syrian and Lebanese youth. | |
