Rene Moawad Foundation and Kiron– Together elevating Digital Learning for underserved communities in the Middle East

Refugee students face additional layers of difficulty in accessing the labor market. The interrupted studies or job market experience puts them in an unfavorable position compared to their non-refugee counterparts. In addition, in Jordan and Lebanon, the social and economic prospects for refugees are even more challenging due to the complex political situation and tensions within the countries. Refugees lack basic labor market opportunities, such as internships and mentoring. Help us in designing and delivering online internships and support opportunities for refugees worldwide and contributing to your pipeline of qualified, diverse candidates.

As a consequence, already fragile communities, such as refugees, are left even more vulnerable, ostracized from society, and excluded from essential opportunities in education. NGOs and other educational institutions who have been delivering education to refugees in a brick and mortar environment have been struggling to transport their offline work to the online sphere.  As a result, many refugees have even fewer opportunities to access quality learning materials. Kiron’s expertise embodies a highly-interactive, online learning environment, and virtual communication for a very complex user.  Support Kiron in sharing its expertise globally, thus enabling successful learning in these unprecedented times.

This has been done by providing them with relevant introductory courses in five different study tracks, as well as much needed English language skills. However, the higher education systems in Jordan and Lebanon are expensive and complex. Even the most successful students in the region can only compete for a small pool of available scholarships. Support our students with that vital, final boost in getting admitted to university programs through scholarships and access to educational materials for preparation and support on Kiron Campus.
