Sponsor Omran at our special Christian school for Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Omran is a polite and well-mannered 6-year-old who attends our Dar el Awlad school in Lebanon. He dreams of becoming a police officer so he can serve his community. Omran shows strong academic potential and is steadily developing his skills, particularly enjoying English at school. In his free time, Omran loves riding his bike, playing soccer, and spending time with dogs. His favourite colour is blue, and he enjoys eating hamburgers. At home, he helps his family by taking out the trash and is known for his kind, responsible, and respectful nature. For privacy reasons, Omran’s photo has been blurred, but we will share a clear photo if you choose to sponsor him.
Why Omran needs you to sponsor him
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 Omran's life
Your sponsorship will fund Omran’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 Omran and you can send him messages, especially on his 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!
