Consultant- Manual Designer

0.1 Organizational Overview

Right To Play's mission is to use sport and play to educate and empower children and youth to overcome the effects of poverty, conflict, and disease in disadvantaged communities. We believe that the power of play can transform a child’s life. That’s why we provide over one million children with the tools they need to protect themselves from disease, to encourage them to attend and stay in school and to resolve conflict and create peaceful communities.

The UN recognizes play as the right of every child. It is NOT a luxury; it is a tool for learning. Girls, persons with disabilities, children affected by HIV & AIDS, street children, former child combatants and refugees all deserve the chance to grow through play. A game of football can teach children about tolerance and peace; a game of tag can teach about malaria. Play develops skills like cooperation, leadership and teamwork. It can bring entire communities together and inspire every individual. 

 Present since May 2006, Right To Play Lebanon has been providing critical learning opportunities, psycho-social support and leadership development for Lebanese, Palestinian, and Syrian children and youth traumatized by conflict, poverty and displacement. Initiatives that provide psycho-social support and promote gender inclusion and positive leadership are desperately needed for peace and development in the longer term.

0.2 BEAT Project Overview:
