ACME’s partner – ULYP

Unite Lebanon Youth Project (ULYP) is a non-profit organization (NGO#134) established in 2010 with the mission of fostering a transformative shift in Lebanon, from a nation that is divided along religious, political, socio-economic, and ethnic lines to one where people can co-exist, unite, and work together for a better future. ULYP does this through creating educational opportunities and giving equal access to quality educational programs to children, youth, and women in the marginalized communities. ULYP’s programs raise general awareness on mutual respect, tolerance, and acceptance of the other to create a dialogue of peace.

Mission

ULYP’s mission is to empower the marginalized children, youth, and women living in Lebanon TODAY with the skills and knowledge they need to change and become active agents of change for a better tomorrow, without any discrimination.

Vision

ULYP’s vision is a united Lebanon where everyone has equal access to success and the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Philosophy

Education is a right and giving equal access to effective and quality education is our obligation. This is the foundation upon which ULYP builds its programs. It is the responsibility of governments and other organizations to ensure that every child practice this right. ULYP’s decision to focus on education stems from their conviction that education, and only education, has the powerful and pivotal role to improve lives. The children and youth of today are our future. The more we can empower them with effective education, the better leaders, parents, businessmen and women, artists, doctors and teachers they will become tomorrow.
