Ten years have passed and INJAZ Lebanon is moving forward with itsvision in preparing the youth of Lebanon to enter the professional realmsuccessfully and enlighten youth on how to proceed and be successful futureEntrepreneurs.

INJAZ Lebanon has expanded during the past ten years to reach more than55,000 youth across Lebanon reaching schools in the North, South, Bekaa,and Beirut. We are very proud to note that INJAZ Lebanon has won the 2010Regional Company Program Competition among 13 Arab countries byimplementing the best project executed by high school students.

This success wouldn’t have happened without our dedicated volunteers fromall over Lebanon, a special thanks goes to them.

I take this opportunity to thank our Board of Directors, our Executive Boardand overall, our partners who during these years have supported INJAZLebanon to continue its mission towards building a better future for theyouth of Lebanon.

(INVEST IN THE YOUTH IS INVEST IN THE FUTURE.)

Entrepreneurship is the key to success for youth living in a country whereneither the government nor corporations have room to hire.

We are bringing business and entrepreneurial skills to students while they arestill in high school, and offering them the opportunity to take their future intotheir own hands. In Lebanon, 45 % of the entire population is under the ageof 24. These youth want to contribute to building more stable, prosperous andpeaceful societies. However, unemployment rates for them are the highest inthe world, and still rising in many cases. The youth unemployment rate inLebanon is 22.6 %, almost twice the overall unemployment rate according tothe World Population Prospects, Amid a broad spectrum of reform effortsaimed at better governance, perhaps the most important and urgent issue isto give youth the opportunities to share in shaping social, economic andpolitical change. It is in this context that INJAZ Lebanon has set thegroundwork for providing those opportunities to enhance a vibrant, dynamicand entrepreneurial environment in the country.

We are changing mindsets. Students see role models walking into theclassroom, successful employees of corporations or business owners,showcasing a model of success to these students, and also giving them anequation for success. What we’re trying to tell them is that wealth creation isa simple equation. It’s called Entrepreneurship.

If they can learn how to become entrepreneurs, just like they know how toread and write, then we are putting their futures into their hands.

Today WE: Educational institutions, Corporate leaders, Policy makers,Volunteers and Entrepreneurs can join efforts in shaping their future.

This is when we captivate and inspire them, and channel their energy into apositive direction that in the end becomes an investment in their own future.

although at a later stage, when those young

students become adults and go into the market

place and join their companies with the added

value they gained through INJAZ programs.
