“
The Rahma Medical Center is trusted partner of UNICEF and has consistently delivered as per expectations.UNICEF recognizes, however, that the current need for children with disability in Lebanon – Especially those affected by the Syrian Crisis- goes far beyond what explore other funding opportunities to expand on its work.
Mrs. Martha Chalhoub Romario Ambassador of Chile to Lebanon

Testimonials Victoria White Dublin-based writer
“
The Rahma staff have exactly the same dream that we have for our disabled kids: inclusion. They work tirelessly on mainstreaming more able kids, which often fails because the mainstream schools are not ready or charge prohibitive fees, higher for disabled kids than for others. Rahma, free to the users, builds vocational skills, having their own graphic design studio and their own, student-run cafe. They have a scout troop, a choir, specialised basketball.
NOTE Kindly note that this report is a summary of our projects progress, to highlight some of our achievements. There are a lot of details, improvement reports and recorded videos for each case, in addition to a lot of other detailed operational reports in the admission, social and health, education, activities, finance and rehabilitation that are ready upon your request.
