Lebanon’s Refugee-led Alsama Project wins inaugural Global Schools Prize for keeping teens learning in War – Receives $500K Award
The Alsama Project is announced as the winner of the inaugural Global Schools Prize at the Education World Forum in London by award-winning filmmaker, campaigner, and fundraiser Richard Curtis, receiving $500,000 to scale its impact.
The Alsama Project is one of Lebanon’s only education providers to have maintained daily teaching throughout the 2024 and 2026 conflicts, operating education centres in refugee camps serving more than 1,100 displaced teenagers excluded from traditional schooling.
Around 90% of Alsama students arrive illiterate and innumerate, with most learning to read, write, and count within six months.
