Since its establishment, Hariri Foundation has been providing social, health, and educational assistance to households in need as well as to workers in the sectors most affected by emergent crises. The foundation considers this assistance necessary in light of the socio-economic crises that the Lebanese society has faced at a recurrent basis. This assistance aims to confirm to those groups the existence of a social safety net that continues to provide support at different fronts through difficult circumstances.
At the educational front, the foundation provides hundreds of students at Lebanese schools, vocational institutes and universities with educational grants and financial aid through direct tuition coverage through educational institutions.
In partnership with the Saudi National Campaign, Hariri Foundation provided educational opportunities and psycho-social support services to Syrian refugees and students from the host communities in Akkar, Tripoli, Bekaa, Beirut and Saida. Up to 3,000 scholarships were granted to students attending 52 schools, and 368 psycho-social training sessions were held to 5,580 Syrian and Lebanese students. The project also featured a drama therapy component, targeting 40 mothers and teachers at the scholarship recipient schools.
