Kids Alive Lebanon- Dar El Awlad
Strategic Partner

Justice that Heals, Bonds that Mend

Organization Overview

Since 1948, our goal has been to provide a holistic approach dedicated to serving oppressed, marginalized, and at-risk children. Over the years, our team has expanded to meet the needs of abused and neglected children, as well as the most vulnerable families. This is done through prevention programs implemented via formal education in Mansourieh, family strengthening through a women’s program offering educational and psychosocial support to mothers and women, and informal education. We also provide vocational training in Southern Lebanon for children from the Dom community and Syrian refugee girls, equipping them for independent living. We are a protection home for boys, seeking justice as we work with stateless children in cooperation with the juvenile court, alongside a multidisciplinary team of a lawyer, a social worker, and therapists, ensuring each child lives in a safe community free from fear and violence, and experiences a life-changing relationship with Jesus.

Mission

Our mission is based on Isaiah 1:17; to learn to do right, seek justice, defend the oppressed, take up the cause of the fatherless, and to plead the case of the widow.

Vision

We serve children of all faiths—and no faith at all—with the same unconditional love that Jesus demonstrated to us.
