About our Centers

Jusoor’s educational center in Beirut opened in June 2013 as the first center of the organization in Lebanon to run our pilot program. The facility was generously donated to Jusoor by Al-Makassed, a large philanthropic association in Lebanon. Since then we moved to the Nabaa area where we are currently stationed. The Bourj Hammoud Center teaches Arabic as a second language to Syrian refugees from Northern Syria.

The Jurahiya Center which is located inside a camp for displaced Syrians started operation in February 2014 in tented classrooms. It was converted in 2018 into an eco-friendly educational center. The center creates an opportunity to bring positive change to education and social life starting with students at only three years of age. Within the surrounding community, the Jurahiya center aims to improve the learning environment and cultivate community cohesion within the Jurahiya Informal Tented Settlement (ITS) and the host Lebanese community.

This school hosts more than 30% of Lebanese students. It was made possible by the generosity of the Ali Ghandour Schooling for Excellence and Diversity. The Pine Community School was in danger of shutting down due to the lack of funds and students being unable to pay their tuition fees as a result of the deteriorating economic situation in Lebanon. The Jusoor partnership with the Ali Ghandour Schooling brought the school back to support hundreds of students in the area.

The school has two systems where it supports students who are out of school, as well as the ones in school. It also provides transportation for students who are attending public schools and are unable to reach them.
