Support 100 Financially-Vulnerable Youth in Beirut

Hello,

Our warmest wishes for a bright, healthy, and happy 2022! We hope this update finds you well amidst renewed concern over the spread of COVID-19 and its variants.

Thanks to you, Steven, Marianna, Ahmad, as well as 130 other youth, have now completed Nawaya's Career Path Program.

They've engaged in hands-on internships, online training, and career coaching, all the while earning a monthly stipend to help support them through difficult financial times in Lebanon.

Steven will be joining our team in 2022, and Ahmad has found a job with a local web development company. Marianna is still looking for work but feels more confident with newly acquired skills.

Although we are still collecting data from the full program, we have some preliminary results that we are excited to share with you: 67% of the 80 youth who graduated from our pilot program are now currently generating income - either through full-time work, part-time work, consultancies, freelancing, self-employment, or via paid internships. 

These results have proven that this program can transform lives even during the most difficult of circumstances, and we can't wait to grow this program, improve it further, reach more youth, and impact more lives in 2022. 

Thank you for your generosity, you've helped youth from the program weather the crises in their lives and this makes all the difference to them, their families, and us. 

Your donations have helped us connect them to internships, mentors, jobs, and other learning opportunities. They've also helped instill a sense of hope, confidence, and motivation in challenging circumstances. 

Again, thank you for all you do for our youth. You are a part of their lives too.

Sincerely,

Celine
