Mission Statement
NAFDA-US supports nafda Lebanon’s mission to create impactful social change through education. By empowering school principals, educators, and communities, nafda leads educational transformation that promulgates and reinforces the values of social justice, good governance, and engaged citizenship.
About This Cause
nafda is a community of school principals and supporting allies and enablers who believe that societal change can happen through schools. The network currently includes 50 public and private schools from around the country. It is is poised to grow to 100 schools in 2025. In response to the vicious war raging in Lebanon since early October 2024, nafda schools are focusing on (1) building trust between displaced and host students and communities, (2) increasing access to education to the internally displaced as well as to non-displaced students, and (3) providing crisis-related emotional support and well-being guidance to students and teachers. nafda schools also continue to focus on the three main pillars of nafda's strategy: 1. School Transformation Projects: Providing grants for schools to develop tailored, needs-based projects that promote 21st-century learning, innovation, and collaboration. Through partnerships with communities and organizations, these initiatives expand access to essential resources, knowledge, and support. 2. Values-Based Education: Embedding nafda’s core values into projects and educational tools, cultivating a culture of inclusion, empathy, and responsibility among students and communities. 3. Advocacy & Thought Leadership: Connecting school leaders with influential voices and policymakers, creating platforms for educational reform and supporting policy development that fosters long-term, systemic change.
