Blue Mission is a non-political/non-sectarian NGO based in Saida, Lebanon, seeking to promote a culture of peace on every level of society in order for Lebanon to confront and resolve its humanitarian challenges. We work with vulnerable Lebanese, Refugees and Internally displaced groups in Lebanon, targeting aspects of Medical Aid, Mental Health, Education, Capacity Building and Peace Building. The biggest program in place at this date is the KARAMA project, targeting refugee and host populations living in informal settlements in the South and Mount Lebanon to assess the mental and physical health needs of their residents, with an emphasis on women and their children. This program reaches around 1000 beneficiaries a month, with the help of a Mobile Medical Unit. This program is now complemented by the Early Years Education Program. The basis of the program is to provide Early Childhood Education (ECE) to Syrian Refugees who are not entitled to go to school from the ages of 3-5. ECE is one of the most significant programs that can lead to positive lifelong outcomes. As such, it is important to ensure that Syrian Refugees have this service provided for them so when getting to school at the age of 6 they have the skills needed to access appropriate grade level curriculum. This program takes places in the Library of Saida. It runs 4 days a week (Monday to Thursday), 2h a day. Activities are designed to give the children tools to be more developmentally appropriate, ready to integrate into school by the age of 7, build their social/emotional skills, fine/gross motor skills, and early literacy skills.
