FiSTA’s Riverside Community, is currently located in Daychounieh, Mansourieh, a mere 15 minutes’ drive from downtown Beirut and lies amidst an environmentally protected area surrounded by trees, mountains and rivers. It is in this calm and pleasant environment that we teach and care for our students. Currently, FISTA’s Riverside Community caters to around 200 students of all ages.

Our mission aims to improve each of our student’s quality of life through individualized instruction and therapy. Our educational methods are designed to enhance the physical and mental capabilities of our students by helping them improve their social and communication skills, thus giving them the confidence to participate in their local communities.

Our work also involves monitoring the health of our students and extending emotional and psychological support to their families. In this respect, we work directly with the parents through regular meetings providing them with help and guidance on how to communicate with their children. In summary FiSTA Riverside Community strives to create a beneficial environment, be it creative and/or practical, that can empower our students and enable them to join and contribute to society on an equal footing with everybody else.
