Himaya is a Lebanese Non-Governmental Organization dedicated to making child protection a right across Lebanon. Himaya aims to break the silence and offers children the life skills they need to defend themselves.
Himaya also supports survivors of abuse and gives them the psychosocial support they need to overcome their experiences. In order to be as effective as possible, Himaya works with children, their families, and surroundings as a whole.
It strives to make a change on a national level with the help of its two main programs: the prevention and resilience programs. It covers the entire Lebanese territory with offices in Zahle, Mount Lebanon, North Bekaa, Sidon, and Tripoli.
Himaya gives awareness sessions and protects children who are victims of four types of abuse:
Physical Abuse
Psychological Abuse
Sexual Abuse
Neglect
