For many people in the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, and Jordan, poverty and conflict preclude the opportunity to get an education. Sometimes children must work to help put food on the table instead of going to school. Other children, who are disabled or orphaned, face additional difficulties finding a school that can address their special needs. Adults wanting jobs need affordable opportunities for additional training.
