Life skills Trainer - Baalback,Tyr and Beirut

Nusaned is a humanitarian, community-based and volunteer organisation. We believe that the power to create change comes from working collaboratively. Nusaned does not engage in any political activity, and remains at equal distance from all religions. We support communities based on a non-biased, egalitarian and value-based needs assessment process. Our mission is to support under-served Lebanese communities to become self-sustaining by offering access to food security, building shelter and providing ongoing opportunities for productive economies. We do this through innovative and effective partnerships with communities as well as locally engaged, international organizations and donors. Nusaned adopts a zero-tolerance approach towards sexual exploitation and abuse. Nusaned holds a responsibility to protect people we work with, and who work for us, and will continuously strive to prevent sexual exploitation and abuse from occurring. Our actions are informed by a survivor-centred approach which means that the needs and wishes of survivors guide our response, that survivors are treated with dignity and respect, and the rights of survivors to privacy and support are prioritized Summary
