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!


Siham Baroud is a 37-year-old mother of 3 from Fourzol, a small village in the Central Bekaa Valley. “I wanted to go to university, but I got married after high school. I had too many responsibilities – immediately I had babies. I’m thinking about going back to university when things calm down at home. I want to study archaeology. I love discovery, renewal, making new from the old.” Siham’s interest in English most recently sprung from “using the internet – everything is in English. I also wanted to be able to watch movies without subtitles.”
