As its first project, AC Middle East has been supporting our partner organization, the Unite Lebanon Youth Project (ULYP), in its efforts to provide quality educational opportunities to children, youth and women from the marginalized communities living in Lebanon. ULYP also offers university placements to bright young Palestinians from the refugee camps of Lebanon.

All of ULYP’s programs leverage education to instill values of mutual understanding, respect and tolerance. The programs offer services like English and IT classes, art and sports programs, college preparation through SAT and TOEFL training, and college placement through application assistance and awarding scholarships. Read more about these programs here.

Since inception in 2010, ULYP has provided educational programs to over 12,000  children, youth, and women from underprivileged communities across Lebanon. Moreover, ULYP has placed over 500  deserving students in world-class universities across the Middle East and Europe.  The graduates to date are currently either pursuing jobs or Master’s degrees and have become role models for their communities. Read more about these students here. ​

ACME  currently devotes 100% of its resources to its first project, supporting ULYP in 
offering its services to the underserved.  So far, at least 20 ULYP students have benefitted from ACME sponsored scholarships.
