Japan supports Ain Anoub Youth Uprising Charitable Organization for the expansion of the Ain Anoub official school. This support is aimed at improving the educational conditions of people in remote areas. Ambassador of Japan to Lebanon Mr. Koichi Kawakami and President of Ain Anoub Youth Uprising Charitable Organization, Mr. Izzat Hamdan, signed the grant contract of US$82,693 to this effect at the Embassy of Japan on 24 February 2011.

This is funded by “Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Project (GGP)” of Japan.

Japan has so far extended through GGP more than US$ 9.6 million since 1996.
