The René Moawad Foundation launched an initiative to raise awareness about the importance of personal hygiene and environmental cleanliness for 150 children and adolescents in the Bab al-Tabbaneh area between the ages of 7-18.
Based on a mini-study done by the students of the hairdressing course at RMF for Education and Protection Services within the framework of the UNICEF-funded “Youth Support through Education, Capacity Building and Employment in the North” project, many children in Bab El Tebbaneh lack the culture of a hygiene and cleanliness in general.
The students proposed a recreational educational program on hygiene and protecting the environment, dealing with the problem of waste and recycling, presented in a fun and interesting manner in cooperation with the actor Nazih Youssef and a group of students of the center.
“Supporting vulnerable girls and boys with learning, soft and hard skills and employability programmes in the North” project implemented by the Rene Moawad Foundation allows young Lebanese and non-Lebanese youth to participate and empower themselves to pursue meaningful lifestyles, engage in activities that benefit their communities, develop their abilities and life skills, and increase their self-confidence to be active in their environment.
