A Partnership for Progress: Celebrating Candriam's Commitment to Education

We are honoured to share this letter of heartfelt thanks from College des Frères in Deddeh, Lebanon, to Candriam for their unwavering support. Over the past academic year, Candriam's sponsorship has been a lifeline for 169 students at the school, providing them with the invaluable gift of education amidst challenging times.

Their dedication has allowed these young minds to pursue their academic journeys without the burden of financial hardship. This partnership between Candriam and Alphabetical Order represents more than just financial aid; it is a testament to the power of collective effort in forging a brighter future for the next generation.

As we publish this token of appreciation, we invite you to join us in acknowledging Candriam's profound generosity and in celebrating the doors it has opened for students in need. Together, we are not just supporting education; we are nurturing hope, building dreams, and strengthening communities.

Let us continue to unite in the mission to ensure that every child has access to the education they deserve.

Transforming Education: A Heartfelt Thank You to Eurofins!

We are thrilled to share this special video from the students and staff of Notre Dame de Lourdes in Antelias, Lebanon, expressing their deepest gratitude to Eurofins for the generous donation of laptops and software.

This incredible gift has brought a wave of hope and opportunity, breathing new life into the school’s IT lab and empowering these students in ways we only dreamed of.

In a time where Lebanon faces severe economic challenges, affecting countless families and making it difficult for schools to update their educational resources, this donation is more than just equipment—it's a beacon of light for our community.

The joy and excitement seen in Notre Dame de Lourdes’ students using the new laptops are beyond words. These tools are not just aiding in their education; they're shaping futures.

A special thanks to Eurofins for standing with us in these trying times. Your support does not just change lives; it uplifts entire communities.

Let's continue to make a difference. To learn more about Alphabetical Order and how you can support our mission to help students in need in Lebanon, visit https://alphabeticalorder.org .

Lebanon's economic crisis is driving teachers to seek work in neighboring countries, deepening a brain drain that threatens the nation's recovery.
Providing tuition aid for schoolchildren helps schools pay their teachers on time and buy much needed materials for class.
Let's keep on supporting the education system in our country, today more than ever.

2 years ago, one third of Beirut was destroyed by one of the most powerful non nuclear blast of the century.
200+ people died, 7,000 were injured and hundreds of buildings got destroyed.
One of these buildings was the College Sacré Cœur, located in Gemmayzeh, a few hundred meters away from the center of the blast.
Alphabetical Order took care of the renovation of the school’s theatre, so that despite everything, and despite the current economic collapse, culture could thrive again.

Our hearts still grieve for all those who got hurt that day. Let’s not forget, let’s always remember. And let’s build the country again, one school at a time.
