About Save the Children

Save the Children has been working in Lebanon since 1953 and transitioned to Save the Children International in 2012. For more than six decades, Save the Children has used rights-based approaches to increase access for children, adolescents and youths to quality education, and to strengthen child participation and protection at the family, school and community levels. Save the Children supports families to meet their basic needs, including adequate shelter, and facilitates market driven livelihoods opportunities for youth and caregivers. Save the Children empowers civil society in Lebanon in times of peace and conflict to respond to the needs of all children.

 

This story is inspired by real-life testimonies collected by the Save the Children team during their field visits and activities in collective shelters. It draws from the emotional experiences of families and children affected by the September 2024 escalation of conflict between Lebanon and Israeli Forces. 

The key challenge was to convey the depth of children’s lived experiences and emotions during a time of crisis through a format that is both sensitive and creatively engaging. Ensuring the authenticity of their voices was central to the storytelling.

Leoceros addressed this by producing a replica of the original artwork created by the children, embedding their perspectives into the narrative. This approach not only honors their voices but also visually enriches the story, allowing their feelings and realities to resonate powerfully with the audience.

The storybook served as a powerful advocacy and awareness tool, amplifying the voices of affected children while engaging stakeholders, partners, and the broader community in conversations about the humanitarian impact of conflict.
