About Society for Social Support and Education

The Society for Social Support & Education (SSSE) #1503 is a non-governmental organization registered in Lebanon and based in Beirut. It was founded in August 2019 as being the focused arm on the education project of the previous organization Social Support Society (SSS), which was founded in 2006. While SSS focused on the support of elderly and needy people, which was extended to refugee families and especially their children in the scope of the Syrian crisis, the education project managers decided in 2019 to continue the educational activities in a separate organization and in close cooperation with the Lebanese Ministry of Education. Through this stronger cooperation with the authorities, the educational perspective for Syrian refugees can be guaranteed on a long-term and sustainable basis. Great effort and hard work were put into establishing educational centers and recruiting the students as well as generating funds. This was achieved through relentless work of a group of ladies and the generous donations of many friends, charities and individual donors, thus beginning the road to what we have now. SSSE is currently in charge of the education project for 3 schools as well as the emergency response measures for refugee families since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2012, during which over 15,000 students have been given the opportunity to attend school; and over 10,000 Syrian refugee families were served.
