The context
Lebanon is facing a humanitarian crisis initially provoked by socio-economic challenges, rising rates of unemployment, poverty and collateral damages of the Coronavirus pandemic. Since October 2019 and moreover after the Beirut blast, youth presence and active commitment either on personal volunteering basis or through youth organizations was noticeable, providing all sorts of civic relief.
Within this context and following the August four Beirut blast, all youth living on the Lebanese grounds – without exception – have experienced unprecedented levels of stress and even trauma and would need to benefit from immediate emotional relief arising from the overall situation along with a sustainable approach to address vulnerable youth and growing community needs.
The Project
Responding to that need, Saint Vincent De Paul جمعية مار منصور دي بول لبنان in partnership with USAID and Baladi Cap is launching the “Youth Making Change for a Resilient Lebanon” project aiming to provide youth with needed skills to thrive within current context and better serve the Lebanese community.
Objective
Develop and implement a skills development initiative, including a three days training addressed to a group of 15 young people (18-36 years) and followed by one day coaching on a post-training assignment implementation, aiming to enhance SSVPL’s visibility on Social Media.
