Abstract | The Breateau Foundation delivers a range of programmes to support disadvantaged children. As an education provider in developing countries, the Breteau Foundation witnesses firsthand the disruptions, challenges, and barriers that negatively affect access to education, which include poverty, lack of infrastructure, trafficking, child slavery, and conflict. In the environments where they work, it is important to be ready to adapt and respond to a complex web of barriers. At the heart of their work is their Edtech programme, which provides tablets pre-loaded with educational apps aligned to national curriculums and a two-year teacher training programme to schools and local learning centers. It aims to increase students' academic engagement by empowering and training educators to successfully integrate technology into their classrooms. In addition to working with local NGOs and schools, the programme also runs in the Breteau Foundation's own Mini-Tented School and Mobile Education Bus, designed to target refugee children based in the settlements of the Beqaa Valley, Lebanon.
