360° video: Out of Syria, back into school
Look around you: this 360-degree, immersive video introduces you to the real-life stories of Mustafa and Sarah.
They both fled the fighting in Syria with their families. They left their homelands - and their schools - behind.
Now they live in Lebanon, but while Sarah is back in school with the help of UK aid, Mustafa is helping to support his family.
Around 500,000 Syrian refugee children live in Lebanon - forced to flee the crisis in their homeland, and to leave their school behind.
In the last year alone, more than 200,000 were brought back into school – thanks to a Lebanese government enrolment programme, backed by UK aid and UNICEF.

There is much more to be done: we’re aiming to help get all Syrian refugee children and vulnerable host community children back into education by the end of the 2016-17 academic year - to avoid a lost generation. See how: https://www.supportingsyria2016.com
