Lebanese education group wins $500,000 prize for helping war-hit teens
The Alsama Project just won the $500,000 Global Schools Prize! They teach refugee teens in Lebanon and Syria who missed out on school-many couldn’t read or write. In six months, they become literate, and within six years, they're ready for university. The prize lets them open two more centers, reaching hundreds more teens. Some graduates are now off to top universities abroad. It’s amazing to see how education is changing lives for kids who face extreme poverty and conflict.
