Our Partnership
Since 2018, Dorcas Lebanon has partnered with Aflatoun International to enhance the financial and social education of vulnerable children. Through joint efforts, the two organisations are committed to creating lasting, positive impacts in the lives of children and their communities. 

Dorcas Lebanon recently invited a colleague from Egypt to conduct a four-day refresher training for its staff members from both Lebanon and Syria, focused on the Aflatoun methodology. The training’s main objective was to equip participants with the skills to deliver high-quality financial and life skills education to children and youth, necessary to thrive in the ever-changing 21st century..
