Dear Friends,
We introduced the Nawaya Impact Lab training program, in partnership with UNICEF, to you back in August.
Today, we're proud to let you know that since July, we have so far trained 300 youth beneficiaries from over seven different locations around Beirut.
The Nawaya Impact Lab is an intensive one-month design thinking and business development training program for unemployed and out of school Lebanese and refugee youth.
The program provides youth with the skills they need to develop innovative, income-generating solutions to problems in their communities. The most viable enterprise ideas advance to the mentorship phase, and are selected to be featured on our website www.nawaya.org to crowdfund for and help kickstart their initiatives.
We're excited to share our first six small social enterprise and business projects our youth have created and invite you to support their initiatives by donating through our website on: www.nawaya.org.
Your donations will be matched with equal funds from UNICEF & The Nawaya Network.
The Nawaya Impact Lab was made possible through support from UNICEF Lebanon, UBI Banca and The German Cooperation.
Thank you all for your continued support!
