Training of trainers on Solid waste valorisation (sorting from source and recycling)

René Moawad Foundation (RMF) is a Lebanese non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian organization, established on November 22, 1991, two years after President René Moawad’s assassination, who was elected President of the Lebanese Republic on November 5, 1989 and killed 17 days later. President René Moawad believed in a strong and democratic state and fought for a progressive and modern Lebanon, a peaceful Lebanon, which embraces the values of democracy, human rights, moderation and pluralism.

The René Moawad Foundation has a zero tolerance to Sexual Exploitation and Abuse of beneficiaries. Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) is everyone’s responsibility and all staff are required to adhere to the Code of Conduct, that enshrines principles of PSEA, always (both during work hours and outside work hours). Familiarization with, and adherence to, the Code of Conduct is an essential requirement of all staff, in addition to related mandatory training. All staff must ensure that they understand and act in accordance with this clause.

It was noticed that proper WASH infrastructure management is not a priority matter for schools. The lack of management of WASH services such as solid waste management, water supply, and wastewater management has a direct impact on the health of students. Furthermore, proper WASH management would lead schools to become more sustainable and resilient on the long run.
