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!


Dunia Yaghi is a 50-year-old drawing teacher, graduate of Mackenze with a degree in visual communication, and a tri-lingual mother of 3 adult children. Despite some previous engagement with English (she loves Eminem), Dunia credits TWE with expanding her vocabulary and giving her opportunities to practice. “I knew no vocabulary about cars, hotels, speed limits, signs.” Dunia also has practical goals for English. “I want to get a new job, perhaps in Beirut. Men in Lebanon do not think women should work, but I disagree. My favorite story in our book is about the 100-year-old woman still working. No limits!”
