The
Youth Zone
AN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR
DEVELOPMENT
The Hariri
Foundation is a non-profit institution which responded to a dire
national need that resulted from the events caused by the civil war.
The foundation started its
mission in Sidon in 1979; it was then called "The Islamic
Institute for Culture and Higher Education" but has carried its
present name since 1984 and moved to its central offices in Beirut.
It opened offices in Tripoli and the Bekaa, in addition to those in
Sidon, in an attempt to facilitate the granting of loans to those
who - regardless of their religious or denominational affiliation -
had applied to join institutions of higher learning in Lebanon.
Likewise, it opened offices in Paris, London, and Washington, DC, to
keep in close contact with its student proteges who had joined
around 100 universities in Western Europe, North Africa, Canada and
the US.
