Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
Bedayati’s Youth Program seeks to widen opportunities for marginalised youth in the labour market, responding to their aspirations for change. Youth between the ages of 16-25 who take part in our program are accompanied for a period of six to nine months, during which time they are also encouraged to set their career goals.

Our training covers digital literacy, English and life skills. We combine job readiness training with short-term employment opportunities and sports, to promote the employability of youth and help with their personal development. Bedayati actively supports the placement of students in further education, training, or decent employment upon completion of the Program.
Our Community Kitchen initiative, which provides 1000 hot meals per week to food insecure communities in Beirut, including most recently the areas affected by the Beirut blast, helps promote youth employability and restore livelihoods, providing short-term employment opportunities to over 20 youths since its inception. Students from our Youth Program are employed as kitchen assistants and take care of food purchasing, meal preparation and food distribution. Through their work in the Community Kitchen, youth learn project management and employability skills, teamwork and community service.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
