WeWorld-GVC (WW-GVC), constituted from the merger of two NGOs in 2018, is an Italian secular and independent organization working since 1971 in international cooperation and humanitarian aid. Present in more than 20 countries, WeWorld-GVC operates in the following areas of assistance: human rights, humanitarian aid, food security and livelihoods, access to water, health and hygiene, education, global citizenship education, quality teaching and international volunteering.

WeWorld-GVC has been working in Lebanon since 2006 and is currently supporting vulnerable populations through multi-sectoral emergency responses as well as water governance, livelihood, and local development interventions in Baalbek-Hermel and Akkar governorates. WeWorld-GVC interventions aim to increase the populations’ resilience, enhancing the communities’ capacity to find, within its fabric, the skills and resources necessary to grow in a self-sufficient manner. The mission counts more than 50 employees, divided into four offices (Beirut, Zahle, Ain, Kobayat). The main donors of the mission are EU, OCHA, AICS, and AFD.

GVC and YAB have implemented a pilot initiative in 6 public schools in order to provide directors, teachers, special educators and social workers with technical tools and expertise to encourage the inclusion of children with special needs. Almost 60 children have been included in regular classes all along the implementation (2012-2015). At the same time, the project involved parents and communities where the 6 schools are located to raise culture of diversity and respect and to enhance participation of children with special needs at all levels of social and cultural life.
