Samir Editeur SAL has been offering its expertise in publishing and education through decades in Lebanon and the MENA region. Despite the crisis, Samir Editeur SAL managed to offer constant quality at a competitive rate. Our network has more than a hundred of schools across Lebanon. We were also nominated Best Children's Publishers of the Year, Asia winner at the Bologne Children Book Fair in 2022. Our effort and perseverance to make great books available in three languages can only strengthen the education field in Lebanon. We can offer our publications to remote communities who struggle to access quality education due to the unprecedented crisis.
We wish to join ALF Network to build a better future for education. We want to get involved in a positive action by introducing our books to the most relevant actors who are trying to build dialogue for a more inclusive society. What better way than reading and learning a language to achieve this goal?
