Mission

The mission of TFL-US is to help fund Teach For Lebanon's efforts as well as provide it with advice on fund-raising and management, if and as requested.

The mission of TFL is to provide underprivileged children with a quality education by supplying them with talented Fellows who help to empower them.

In Lebanon, a country that prides itself on its high level of education, about half of the students will not graduate from high school.  In rural areas, this proportion is much higher.  There are numerous reasons for this, which come down to a lack of resources and of motivation.  This affects negatively young students who get discouraged and fall behind in their studies and skills.  It compounds itself as the child ages, creating hurdles that become extremely hard to overcome.  

Teach For Lebanon, by recruiting, training, and empowering bright, motivated, and young graduates from Lebanese colleges intends to break this vicious circle, using the proven model developed by Teach For America over the last 20 years.

Teach For Lebanon is proud to be part of the Teach For All network which provides the support for the recruitment and training of the Fellows: www.teachforall.org
