Sustainable Development Goals
Who we are
We are a group of Syrian women acting with support by a number of established aid agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and individual benefactors. Since November 2011, we have been consistently providing relief assistance to Syrian refugees in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. Our assistance initially included food parcels, clothing, bedding and other basic needs. However, it soon became apparent that taking care of refugee children’s education was an urgent priority. Hence, as of December 2
Values that we uphold at SSSE include:
- Faith: In the Syrian refugees’ desire and ability to secure a better future for themselves and their children.
- Hope: That instilling confidence, courage and basic skills will ultimately grant Syrian refugees the life they strive for.
- Care: For our refugee families as well as their host Lebanese communities through all forms of assistance our resources allow.
Mission Statement
Our top priority is to contribute to improving the lives and future prospects for Syrian Refugee children through access to quality education in a safe environment.
In addition to delivering quality education, our programs, include components designed to instill:
- self-esteem and self-confidence;
- creativity and teamwork;
- conflict resolution abilities;
- tolerance and acceptance of the views and opinions of others;
We believe that where there is a will, there is a way; so the journey towards a better future must commence and continue unabated. Our biggest challenge during current difficulties in Lebanon and worldwide remains funding.
Education is our only hope for the future of all refugee children. Providing quality unbiased education; free from all unwanted influences due to religious or political affiliations, remains our foremost goal.

Their dedication is highly commendable, and their exceptional quality of work puts them head and shoulders above many organisations.
