Sponsor Jana at our special Christian school for Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Jana is a kind and calm 8-year-old girl who attends our Dar El Awlad School in Lebanon. She enjoys drawing and works hard in class, especially in English, which is her favourite subject. When she grows up, Jana dreams of becoming a doctor. At home, she helps her family by cleaning the house, and she is learning to believe in herself as she continues her education. Your sponsorship will support Jana as she grows in confidence and learning. For privacy reasons, Jana’s photo has been blurred, but we will share a clear photo if you choose to sponsor her.
Why Jana needs you to sponsor her
About a quarter of Lebanon’s 6 million population are Syrian refugees. Traumatised by war, many fled Syria on foot across the mountains into Lebanon, where they now live in squalid conditions such as this container, stateless and lonely in a country that doesn’t want them.
Many are unemployed in a country that is in itself in economic turmoil, too scared to return to Syria. Children are years behind with their education, some as old as 13 who have never been in a classroom. Many suffer from the trauma of war.
How your sponsorship will transform Jana's life
Your sponsorship will fund Jana’s education at our ‘Dar el Awlad’ complex in Beirut, including free food, trauma counselling and family support. All in a loving Christian environment with daily devotions, Bible studies and prayer.
You will receive twice yearly updates about Jana and you can send her messages, especially on her birthday and at Christmas (research has shown that children with sponsors tend to do better due to an increased sense of self-worth and general wellbeing).
Thank you for sponsoring one of the world's most vulnerable children!
