Compare360 and Teach A Child join hands to widen the safety net for students in Lebanon
Share:Beirut, Lebanon, 9 November 2026 – Digital insurance aggregator Compare360, part of Chedid Capital Group, is partnering with Lebanese NGO Teach A Child to support sustained access to education, offering direct assistance and opening its platform to customer contributions. While the back-to-school season has ended, for many children in Lebanon, the school year remains delayed or out of reach as families continue to grapple with rising living and education costs.
As part of the partnership, Compare360 will contribute to Teach A Child’s mission for the 2026-2027 academic year, independently of any donations raised through its platform. Compare360 customers will also be able to support Teach A Child directly at checkout, with the option to donate an amount of their choice alongside their insurance purchase.
Founded in 2011, Teach A Child supports underprivileged students who may otherwise be unable to attend school, helping cover not only schooling costs but also practical needs such as transportation, books, and stationery wherever possible. Central to its model is support continuity; rather than a one-time intervention, the organization accompanies children who enter its program throughout their academic journey. Equally crucial to its mission has been a strong commitment to transparency and accountability in the management of donor support.
The collaboration brings the two organizations together under a shared ambition: casting a wide safety net around underserved members of the Lebanese community. Compare360 was created to make insurance more accessible, transparent, and affordable to a wider segment of consumers, while Teach A Child works to ensure that financial hardship does not prevent children from entering or remaining in education.
Commenting on the collaboration, Marc Sassine, General Manager of Compare360, says: “Our ambition at Compare360 has always gone beyond building an insurance aggregator. It is about widening access to protection through greater transparency, affordability, and choice. In Lebanon, where many families carry the burden of financial security, that purpose holds an even wider meaning.” He added: “For us, doing well and doing good are two sides of the same coin. Teach A Child shares values that are fundamental to how we operate: transparency, accountability, and a commitment to access that does not stop at the first step.”
For Teach A Child, the partnership comes at a point in the academic calendar when the visibility around back-to-school may have faded, but the financial challenges facing many students have not. The organization’s long-term objective is to use sustained educational support to help children and their families move beyond cycles of economic hardship.
“Ensuring access to education is not a one-off commitment. Helping a child enter a classroom is only the beginning of our mission. What really counts is making sure that child can remain in school, continue learning and progress year after year. This requires sustained commitment, not only from Teach A Child, but also from the partners who believe in our mission and stand alongside us,” says Maya Es-Said, Vice President of Teach A Child.
She adds: “Every contribution matter, as do trust and transparency in how it is used. Our partners deserve to know where their contributions go and the impact they make. This accountability builds lasting partnerships and enables us to stand by our students throughout their educational journey.”
