What LYT made possible.
"Through LYT, I found coaches who pushed me, equipment I couldn't afford, and a community that believed in me before I believed in myself."
, LYT program participant · Mt. Lebanon"After the war, our school had nothing. LYT showed up with mattresses, with blankets, and then a few weeks later, with coaches."
, School director · Saadiyet"For girls in our area, sport wasn't an option. We'am gave us a real program, and the chance to lead it ourselves."
, We'am participant · Chiyah"My son walked into a training session shy. Six months later he was running a tournament with kids from across Bourj Hammoud."
