A story of youth & belief
For more than two decades, Shabab News has stood beside Lebanon's young people — telling their stories and opening doors to their future.
Why we exist
Since 2001, we've held onto one simple belief — that every young person in Lebanon deserves to be seen, heard, and empowered on the way to their future.
It started with one vision
Shabab News Magazine was born to empower a flourishing youth toward a better, more motivational future. Founded by Firas Mawlawi in 2001, it set out to inspire positive thinking, encouragement and skill-building across academic institutions in North Lebanon.
With thousands of free copies published monthly, it grew into the leading educational news press in the country — the first of its kind — championing life-awareness stories and interviews that empower students and the educational system alike.
“Every student deserves a platform that works for them. This is our gift to Lebanon's next generation.”
