Ente b Aman Program

The Hariri Foundation, in collaboration with the Aman Youth Association, launched the awareness program, Ente b Aman (Arabic for “You Are Safe”), to address pressing challenges impacting the wellbeing of youth. The program seeks to create safe and inclusive environments for youth to engage in meaningful dialogue and meaningful volunteerism. 

The program raises awareness on critical issues such as drug addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder and violent extremism, emphasizing prevention and community resilience, and encouraging proactive community involvement and collaborative solutions among youth. 

Youth Without Drugs 

The first project under the “Ente b Aman” program, “Youth Without Drugs” aims to empower youth against the dangers of drug use and drug addiction, and the psychological, social, and legal pressures it simulates. The project includes a series of informative seminars and interactive discussion sessions with experts, informed by the Youth Guide (Youth without Drugs) designed for the purpose of the program to introduce the legal, social, and health aspects of drug use. 

Healing by Art 

In 2024, the project “Healing by Art” was relaunched under the “Ente b Aman” program. The project aims to teach young community members and educators how to integrate creative expressive arts into their work with children and adults to help them recover from the wounds of traumatic experiences. Training of trainers workshops cover themes such as creating a safe and supportive environment, setting the mood for free expression, and gathering resources. The project demonstrates the effect of art on emotional healing, enhanced growth, and optimal learning, benefiting both the trainees and those they teach in the future. 

Earlier in 2007, the Hariri Foundation partnered with Mercy Corps and Aman Youth Association to implement the project, conducting 6 training of trainer workshops targeting educational professionals across Lebanon. 120 Lebanese and Palestinian educational professionals in South Lebanon and North Lebanon participated in the training, and students indirectly benefiting from the trainings of their direct educators was estimated at 6,000 children.
