Welcome to R&R

You are on the homepage of Relief & Reconciliation International AISBL, a non-profit organisation under Belgian law that is combining peacebuilding with humanitarian aid in response to the Syrian crisis. We are uniting different communities around a common cause: the future of the youth. We opened our first Peace Centre and a refugee camp school in the North of Lebanon, only 12 km from the Syrian border. Read more on the following pages about who we are and what we do.

Start of our 8th school year

Help refugee children through the Covid Winter!

Lebanon has been hit by a triple crisis. The Covid-19 pandemic came only on top of  political turmoil at home and in neighbouring Syria and a dramatic economic meltdown with more than 400% inflation per year. The needs are enormous and we need your help for keeping our class rooms open, both virtually and in real life. We started collecting used tablets and laptop computers to facilitate distant learning in this academic year. Lebanese schools have finally adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic with online classes, but almost none of the Syrian refugee children has access to electronic devices and affordable internet.

The biggest part of our budget is dedicated to education. In the school-year 2019-20, we opened a third informal camp school in vicinity of Kousha and we could maintain daily educational classes for more than 250 children in four different locations of the Akkar Governorate. In 2019, we spent more than €100,000 for our Educational Programme, also thanks to a grant we received from SlovakAid. In this year, like in the past, we are relying exclusively on private small donations to bring the children we serve through the Covid Winter. It is the start of our 8th school year and there has not been one school day without classes at our Peace Centre.
Donate for Education
Our aim is to raise €20,000 by the end of this year 2020 to help refugee students through the Covid Winter. With this amount, we can provide daily education to more than 300 students over four months in all four locations we serve in the North of Lebanon: at the Peace Centre Bkarzla, at the informal camp school in Kousha and at the outreach centres in Michmich and Rahbe. We are counting on your help.

You can make a donation from all over the world using the "Donate" buttons on our website. We make the pledge that all donations with the special mention "Covid Winter" will be used exclusively for this campaign. Please contact us if you prefer to make a bank transfer or if you have any other question!
