Welcome!

Since February 2008, the TWE program has worked with diverse partners across Lebanon to:
1) Empower women in their communities, to help women improving access to employment and education, and to enable women to support their children in their studies,
2) Develop civil society in peripheral regions by boosting local associations, raising their visibility, and helping them meet the needs of their communities,
3) Create a network of women and NGO’s with a shared commitment to increase their opportunities through learning English.

Meet TWE!


Amal Barbar is a 49-year-old from Akkar living in Beirut with a Master degree in social work from St. Joseph University. “I work in the Ministry of Social Affairs. I need English at work because some people who meet the minister only speak English. Since I only spoke Arabic and French, they couldn’t understand me.” Learning English has also had personal benefits. “My boyfriend speaks Arabic and English. He thinks I’m taking English out of love for him! This is good for me.”
