More about CodeBrave:

CodeBrave is responding to Lebanon’s urgent need to equip the next generation with the tech and cognitive skills that align with the demands of the future workforce. Having started as a grassroots project at an orphanage in Kahaleh, we have since taught 3,000 students at 30 schools and centres. We believe all children have the right to a great education and future opportunities to fulfill their potential.

We have a bold vision: to introduce Coding and AI education as standard for all children in Lebanon starting at age 10. This initiative will be transformative for Lebanon, creating opportunities for young people and boosting the economy.

Our team is ambitious, passionate and constantly pushes for quality in our programmes. We want to challenge how development work is conventionally done and build a better future for Lebanon, alongside our students. Creating an environment where our team can do their best work is central to the success of our mission. We nurture this through regular team development and training, and a strong organisational culture and values. 

Our values are:

• Child-focus: Our approach is based on a targeted and holistic understanding of the whole child.
• Empowerment: We create environments that enable students' personal empowerment.
• Radical Candour: We use candour as a means to evolve and improve. 
• Healthy High Performance: We set the bar high, while supporting a healthy work culture.
• Real Change: We want to make the kind of change that makes our students proud, not just our donors.
