The Walid Maalouf Foundation was established June 2007. It is an educational non-religious, non-sectarian and non-political organization. Its primary objectives are to help needy Lebanese students reach their educational goals from first grade to high school; to help build a library and an international center with easy access for every Lebanese child; to provide the necessary support for families to encourage reading in the home.

We have named this foundation after the Honorable Walid Maalouf because he himself was a recipient of a full scholarship, which was a turning point in his life. He became an example of perseverance, hope, and a future of a promising Lebanon.
