GHADA FEGHALI - LEBANON

Excellence in Education – 2022

For 35 years, Ghada Feghali has channeled her passion for education by coaching students, chairing the biology department, and excelling as a biology instructor in both English and French at the International College of Beirut. Known for her principles, she served as Associate Director at the IC Middle School. Raised in Lebanon, Ghada graduated from the American University of Beirut with a BS in Pharmacy and an MS in Agriculture (1968–1980).

Since 1968, she has driven educational change, particularly for vulnerable communities, including Palestinian refugees. She co-founded MMKN (meaning “possible” in Arabic), an NGO established in 2010 to foster socially responsible citizens. MMKN’s program supports vulnerable students aged 13 to 15 in Lebanese public schools through academic remedial sessions, minimizing dropouts in partnership with volunteering programs from AUB, LAU, Balamand University, Haigazian University, Antonine University, and the Lebanese University.

MMKN promotes community engagement, citizenship, and governance, aiming to spread knowledge and social awareness across Lebanon. To date, MMKN has impacted over 14,000 students and more than 100 public schools.
