Entrepreneurship Programs - Launching in June 2025

Our commitment to fostering entrepreneurship among Lebanon's youth remains strong. We are excited to announce the launch of two key entrepreneurship tracks in June 2025:

• The Entrepreneurship Readiness Track: This short, intensive course will prepare young people aged 17 to 23 with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to embark on their entrepreneurial journey. This track aims to inspire and equip the next generation of business leaders.

We believe in empowering young entrepreneurs to create sustainable businesses that contribute to economic growth and job creation.

These programs represent our holistic approach to addressing the challenges faced by Lebanon's youth. By equipping them with essential skills and fostering their entrepreneurial spirit, we are investing in their future and the future of our country.

We are incredibly grateful for your unwavering support, which makes these vital programs possible. Your contributions are not just donations; they are investments in the potential of Lebanon's youth.
