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!


Shadia Shokier is a 22-year-old from Mays al Jabal, engaged and studying computers at a local technical school. Shadia decided to learn English after a trip to Shebaa. “I saw UNIFIL soldiers speaking English and I did not understand them. I wanted to talk to them! I saw them recently – they asked if I had a boyfriend and now I could say no – I have a fiancé!” She watches movies now without subtitles (she has seen Titanic three times) and wants to teach her children English. “I teach my fiancé English!” she says.
