Financial aids to schools. It consists of helping with part of the tuition fees, purchase of books and supplies.
Étoile du Berger Nursery – Zouk Mikhael
Since 1994, Étoile du Berger Nursery welcomes 45 children aged 1-3 years.
These little minds will be the society of tomorrow and by instilling love and joy in their hearts, we hope to get them out of their poverty, turning them into responsible adults, independent and fervent believers.
Not only are the fees symbolic. But in taking care of their children during the day, mothers are capable of finding a job and earn additional income to support their families.
