Education lies at the heart of every society. In Lebanon, a country weakened by successive crises, providing young people with the opportunity to pursue their studies has become both a major challenge and an urgent necessity for building a brighter future.
It is with this conviction that the Association Philippe Jabre (APJ) and ALAM Suisse have joined forces. Their partnership is built on a shared belief: sustainable development is impossible without guaranteeing the next generation access to quality education.
A Shared Mission
For 25 years, APJ has been dedicated to supporting students, particularly those pursuing master’s degrees—often overlooked by traditional financial aid programs. “Education is the key to everything,” emphasizes APJ’s manager, Joumana Sabbagh. Philippe Jabre also insists on the importance of going beyond dreams: “Having a dream is not enough. You need to have a vision of what you want to become in 3, 5, or 10 years. Education makes that possible.”
ALAM Suisse carries the same commitment. As its Lebanon representative Gabriel Sawaya explains: “A better future in Lebanon cannot be achieved without improving access to education for our youth.” The association has always relied on transparent and solid partnerships with trusted local organizations to ensure real and lasting impact.
Amplifying Impact
The collaboration between ALAM Suisse and APJ significantly strengthens the support offered to Lebanese students by expanding access to scholarships and academic resources. Together, the two associations are building bridges between the diaspora, international donors, and Lebanon’s youth.
