Job Description

Lebanon has seen a dramatic increase in children living and working on the streets. In an effort to keep children safe, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is working in close coordination with the Lebanese authorities to prevent and respond to abuse, neglect and exploitation of girls and boys. IRC provides psychosocial support for children, parenting skills training for caregivers, case management for children, capacity building for case management agencies, as well as life skills, psychosocial activities, for street and working children in North Bekaa, Tripoli, and Akkar.
