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!


Maryam Safa is a 23-year-old seamstress from Burj Rahhal who finished high school and is applying for hotel management school in Sur. “I dream to be a manager and build my own hotel. Tourism is spreading.” Maryam decided to enroll because she tutors math and science to English-educated students and the books are written in English. “Universities also ask about English language on the application.” My friends at first were against me taking the class – but they see now that I benefit and they accept it.”
