Mission
Americans for Children of the Middle East is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity dedicated to providing relief and educational opportunities to children and youth of Lebanon's most vulnerable populations, including those living in the Palestinian refugee camps, Syrian refugees, and Lebanese marginalized communities.
Projects
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.

Moreover, ULYP has placed over 500 deserving students in world-class universities across the Middle East and Europe.
