Ghani’s neighbour, Mubarak Shah, has also watched the landscape deteriorate.
“6 years ago, huge floods destroyed the canal and all the trees here," he recalls. "We repaired the canal by hand — but it was a temporary fix.”
Mubarak knew the floods would come again, and the villagers would have to gather once more — with basic tools, calloused hands and sweat soaked shirts — to repair what they could until the next time.

“I saw them standing timidly behind the fence”, Coach Abdullah Walid Alouly of Qabb Elias, Bekaa recalls. “They were cheering on some team members which led me to realize that these were the parents of Syrian children on my football team playing in the sports facility”.
"I approached them and kindly invited them to come in—they thought that they couldn’t join the Lebanese parents. I told them that this facility is for everyone in the community so, of course, they were welcome”, he added. "I then saw the Lebanese and Syrian parents sitting together and interacting while watching their children play”. This is how the sports facility that is funded by the #UK in Qabb Elias has a positive social impact on the community as a whole.
Since its completion the facility has been hosting games and tournaments and is used for training children of different age groups. The project was implemented within the framework of the Lebanon Host Communities Support Programme #LHSP #UNDP #MoSA & funded by UK in Lebanon.

After the completion of the rehabilitation works to the school’s original building year (2015), students resumed their
classes in risk-free safe educational environment.
The reopening of the school not only provided a healthy and safe environment for children, but has also impacted the number of children in education where the number increased from 35 to 112 currently registered and attending daily classes (51 Lebanese and 61 Syrians). The school is now planning to hold second shift classes to accommodate more students particularly from the Syrian community residing in Terbol.
In addition to rehabilitating the infrastructure, a soft component of the initiative consists of improving the quality of teaching through trainings sessions, and promoting social stability
through student activities.

Overcoming barriers:
Human mobility and development
Human development is about putting people at the centre of development. It is about people realizing their potential, increasing their choices and enjoying the freedom to lead lives they value. Since 1990, annual Human Development Reports have explored challenges including poverty, gender, democracy, human rights, cultural liberty, globalization, water scarcity and climate change.
Migration, both within and beyond borders, has become an increasingly prominent theme in domestic and international debates, and is the topic of the 2009 Human Development Report. This report breaks new ground in applying a human development approach to the study of migration.
