UNESCO has announced a call for proposals for Youth-led Psycho-social Support to Vulnerable People in Beirut Neighborhoods.

Young volunteers and youth organizations have been active in leading and contributing to civic relief and support efforts in the most affected neighborhoods. The UN has been actively assisting in the immediate response to this incident through the provision of financial, technical and humanitarian support.
