Sawa for Development and Aid is a Lebanese NGO supporting Syrian Refugees since 2011. SDAID started working with the first 40 Syrian families that arrived in Lebanon after they were forced to flee their homes in Syria, and today their projects reach tens of thousands.
SDAID has developed and expanded to include 3 major programs: Relief, Education,
and Development and Livelihoods, that operate in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon.
The communities they work with are the core of their programs, which they have set up in geographical proximity to the camps. In the field, a team of field officers, outreach officers, and volunteers, from the community itself, are key to the implementation of their projects that aim to provide assistance through a holistic approach. Their work targets all the members of the family from education, protection, and skills training, to basic assistance, and shelter and infrastructure construction.
