The pandemic has kept 77 million children out of school. COVID-19 lockdowns have cost 1.8 trillion hours of in-person learning. School closures posed further barriers in remote learning for migrating and displaced children. HHRD focuses on ensuring they have equal access to quality education. Education is a lifeline for children in crises. Its more than the right to learn; proper education can benefit the community. View our yearly report to see what impact we have made. 

Rania and her family fled their home in Syria and are now among more than 975,000 refugees displaced in Lebanon. Due to the economic crisis in Lebanon and difficult economic conditions, she spent most of 2020 in quarantine. Although she didn’t leave home and stopped going to school, Rania continued to learn under difficult living conditions. 2021 was a great year for her, a considerable change was made to Rania’s life at a school supported by HHRD. Normal face to face learning resumed, and more concentration made her progress in Arabic and rhetoric. She enjoys reading and writing essays. She has changed into another person and desires to become an international lawyer to advocate children’s rights. Thanks to Helping Hand and the generous donors who are the real reason behind her success.
