National YWCA of Lebanon, Jbeil Caza Center
The Young Women’s Christian Organization is the oldest volunteer movement for women and girls in Lebanon. It is affiliated to the World YWCA, an international volunteer membership movement uniting 25 million women in over 100 countries. The aim of the YWCA is to achieve social justice through programs for community development. To this end, the YWCA has given priority to the advancement of women and to their greater participation in leadership at all levels of society.
The Lebanon YWCA was the first organization to bridge the gap between formal and informal education in Lebanon by introducing, as early as 1920, vocational training for young women.
The Jbeil branch offers leadership training for the advancement of Lebanese women, by educating young women for the world of business and giving them, in the process, self confidence and a sense of their own worth.
YWCA Jbeil also implements advocacy programs, which foster a just, safe and equitable society for all by addressing issues of concern and promoting the status of women in society.
