Aid for Gaza, Iraq & Syria Refugees in Jordan

Dear friends,

Today we would like to share with you some of the achievements that we are pursuing beyond children's education. 

As you may know, Jordan is struggling to maintain social and economic stability; over 80% of the urban refugee population remains below the national poverty line of ($100) per capita per month. As a result of large and protracted displacement crises, refugees are at heightened risk of depletion of resources, exploitation, lack of livelihood opportunities as well as increased levels of violence. Access to sustainable sources of income continues to be a challenge for refugees in Jordan.

We went back to school a few weeks ago. This is an opportunity not only to provide education to children but also to implement activities with their families. Through capacity building, training, and community-based initiatives, we intend to provide opportunities for refugees and vulnerable Jordanians to strengthen their livelihood base. We pay particular attention to small, micro, and home-based businesses as they allow women and the youth to integrate into the labor market. We also give support to those who have initiated activities, such as the 16 micro home-based businesses that are already producing accessories, diapers, sewing and embroidery. 

Thank you for you support! You are helping a whole community through children´s education.

Dear friends,

During the last months we keep on with our classes and activities in the schools and planning new activities for the next term.

As you know in our schools nearly 500 Jordanian, Iraqi and Syrian boys and girls refugees between 4th and 11th grade attend classes, but not only with an academic purpose. We believe education is much more: is a tool that can transform. Attending classes means safety for the youngest so their parents can go to work; it also means they are provided with at least one hot meal every day. Class activities are programmed to learn, but also to provide children with social, digital and language skills so when they leave school they are in a good position to find a job.

Our teachers in Amman are making a great effort to keep up with technology and to plan many different activities with children and families, accompanying them to grow in so many fields.

Thanks for your support to refugee children…and a whole society!
