Première Urgence – Aide Médicale Internationale (PU-AMI) is a non-profit, non-political and non-religious International Non-Governmental Organisation (INGO). The INGO’s objective is to bring a global response to the basic needs of populations suffering from acute humanitarian crisis, to allow them to recover and lead them to autonomy and dignity.
PU-AMI’s involvement in the Syrian Crisis is strong, with a wide range of programs implemented in most of the countries affected by the conflict (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Irak).
In Lebanon, PU-AMI intervenes in several sectors: shelter and rehabilitation, infrastructure, WASH, food security and livelihoods, health, IS/CS management and protection, and education and psychosocial activities in three regions, namely the Akkar district in North Governorate, Beirut and Mount Lebanon Governorates, and Saida and Jezzine districts in the South Governorate.
GENERAL INFORMATION
PU-AMI is working to improve the access to education in two public schools in the Akkar district : Borj el Arab and Arab el Mafraq public schools. The action aims to build the resilience of the host community through the development of positive teaching methods, psychosocial support, psychosocial care, and the creation of safe community spaces within schools. In order to improve the capacity of the teachers and key school actors to ensure the child protection and spread good practices on conflict resolution as well as non-violent communication, PU-AMI will organize a training for teachers on PSS and non-violent communication with children.
During the past three years, PU-AMI has been implementing work sessions with teachers and directors in villages in Akkar, with the purpose of improving and developing their knowledge on psyschosocial well-being of children.
As part of these sessions, teachers and directors were sensitized on psychosocial care methods in order to better catch children’s attention. PU-AMI would like to have a similar approach in Borj el Arab and Arab el Mafraq public schools. PU-AMI aims at developing teachers’ awareness on psychosocial care and enhance the children’s
