About Call and Learn 

Students attending formal education in Lebanon are in drastic need of support with their learning to be able to achieve the learning outcomes according to their grade level.

The project is a hotline where students can call to get the support, they need to enable their learning. The project focuses on ensuring that girls and boys living in Lebanon are supported to learn, despite the multiple crises and severe shocks affecting them, their families, and the wider society they live in.
