Our Legacy in Education

For nearly three decades, Ajialouna has served as a lifeline for Lebanon’s most vulnerable communities, championing access to education as a fundamental human right.

Ajialouna’s journey in education began with the sponsorship of school and university fees for orphans. In 2006, Ajialouna expanded this mission through the launch of the Tomooh Scholarship Program, which, in partnership with PepsiCo, has supported over 4,500 university and special needs students over the past 20 years.

As Lebanon’s economic crisis deepened and tuition fees became increasingly unaffordable, Ajialouna established a number of dedicated education funds and strategic partnerships to reach more students. These include the Rabab Warid Fund, Hussam Abu Issa Fund, Google, Hearts of Mercy, and LIFE (LEEF Fund) and many others, along with collaborations with MyRiad Canada, and the Charities Aid Foundation. These partnerships have allowed us to support students across both school and university levels.

Ajialouna is also deeply committed to inclusive education. We currently support over 200 students with special needs, ensuring that every child, regardless of ability or circumstance, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

Today, Ajialouna’s education programs encompass pre-university education, vocational training, special needs support, and higher education, with tuition paid directly to institutions. With more than 10,500 students supported to date, we remain steadfast in our mission to open doors for Lebanon’s youth and empower them to build a brighter future.
