The Grace Social Entrepreneurship (The Grace SE) is a Lebanese non-governmental organization, registered in June 2018, Reg#1249, and based in Antelias, Mount Lebanon. We are dedicated to the inclusion, development, and dignity of children and young adults with developmental disabilities, and to the support of their families and caregivers.
The Grace SE grew out of a family's lived experience of raising a child with developmental challenges. That experience continues to shape our conviction that dignity, inclusion, and opportunity are not privileges to be earned but rights to be protected.
We pursue this mission through three integrated areas of work:
• Therapeutic and developmental services — speech, physical, occupational, and behavioral therapy; educational psychology; and family coaching, delivered at minimal or no cost to families in need.
• Health and assistive support— the provision of assistive devices and medical equipment to individuals and to public health facilities serving vulnerable populations.
• Inclusion and awareness— community workshops, education, and advocacy that promote the rights, participation, and protection of persons with disabilities.
OUR VISION
A Lebanon in which every child with a developmental disability is seen, supported, and included — able to learn, grow, and contribute alongside their peers, free from stigma and barriers:
OUR VALUES
We rely on the generosity of compassionate community members and fundraisers who share our commitment to making a difference.
The following principles guide every decision, program, and partnership at The Grace SE:
Dignity We treat every child and family as a person of inherent worth, never as a case or a number.
Inclusion We work to remove the barriers — physical, social, and attitudinal — that exclude persons with disabilities.
Safeguarding We place the safety and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults above all else, and we hold ourselves accountable through clear policies and reporting mechanisms.
Integrity & Transparency We manage every resource entrusted to us responsibly and report on our work openly and honestly.
Partnership We collaborate with families, communities, institutions, and donors, recognizing that lasting change is built together.
The Grace SE's work directly advances the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular:
