Philanthropy - Beirut, Beirut Governorate, Lebanon
The Children and Youth Center (CYC) is a non-governmental organisation located in the Palestinian refugee camps of both Shatila, in Beirut, and Nahr el-Bared. We work under the International Child and Human Rights Convention in cooperation with UNICEF, UNESCO, Save the Children (Sweden), and other child protectors, to defend the child's right to learn and play, in safety. Added support comes from a variety of other interested organisations and individuals.First and foremost, the CYC is a lifeline for many of Shatila and Nahr el-Bared camp's most disadvantaged youth. We work to help create aware and responsible future generations that are able and determined to positively contribute to their community, and to society as a whole.Founded in 1997, the CYC provides guidance and space for the youth of the two camps to develop their education, abilities, and imagination. We strive to supply the vital tools, information, and opportunities necessary for self-expression, self-discovery, and self-development, creating an environment in which all Shatila's and Nahr e-Bared's children can pursue and achieve their dreams.The CYC provides a wide variety of educational and recreational activities for children and youth aged six to eighteen. The centre also acts as a social meeting point where the age groups can meet, interact, and learn from one another informally, as well as formally.To find out more about the work we do, our volunteering opportunities and how to support us, please visit our website and Facebook page:https://cycshatila.org/about/https://www.facebook.com/cycshatila/You can also support us by staying at our Guesthouse !
