In the field of education, the René Moawad Foundation (RMF) is committed to enhancing both formal and non-formal learning opportunities. This includes a broad spectrum of initiatives, such as vocational training, life skills, competency based training and retention classes, among others. RMF’s educational programs aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in a rapidly changing world, fostering both personal and professional development.

RMF also operates a kindergarten, Etoile Du Nord, providing early childhood education that lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning. The kindergarten is designed to nurture young children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development through a balanced curriculum that includes play-based learning, creative activities, and foundational academic skills.

In addition to its kindergarten, RMF runs a technical institute, ITRM in Mejdlaya Zgharta, a  joined venture with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the Directorate General of Technical and Vocational Education that offers specialized training in various technical fields. This institute is dedicated to preparing students for careers in industries that require technical expertise, ensuring that graduates are equipped with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce. The technical institute not only addresses the demand for skilled workers but also contributes to the economic development of the region by producing a competent and capable workforce.

In terms of protection, RMF addresses a range of critical issues affecting vulnerable populations, including child labor, early marriage, and gender-based violence (GBV), violence, exploitation, neglect and others. RMF strengthens community capacities to combat these issues through capacity-building activities and social engagement initiatives. Additionally, the foundation is dedicated to eradicating gender-based violence against children and women by providing case management services, and assistance for those who have been subjected to abuse, neglect, violence, or exploitation. Establishing safe spaces is a crucial component of RMF’s efforts, creating supportive environments for vulnerable populations.

Moreover, RMF is dedicated to combating neglect, abuse, and violence in all its forms. The foundation employs a comprehensive approach that includes psychosocial support to help individuals heal from trauma and build resilience. Through case management services, RMF ensures that each individual receives tailored support and access to necessary resources, fostering an environment where victims can regain control over their lives.

RMF’s holistic approach to education and protection not only addresses immediate needs but also seeks to empower individuals and communities, promoting long-term growth, resilience, and development. By integrating education with protective measures, RMF plays a pivotal role in building a brighter future for individuals and communities throughout the region.
