Our Story
The plight of refugees in Jordan reflects a narrative shaped by the conflicts and upheavals that have marked the Middle East in recent decades. While some, blessed with resources and education, seek sanctuary in wealthier corners of the world, the less fortunate find refuge in neighboring nations like Jordan.
From drought to rising unemployment rates, Jordan shoulders the weight of numerous hardships. Compounding these struggles is the substantial intake of refugees from diverse corners of the globe, forced to flee war, persecution, and various forms of violence.
The backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic has further strained Jordan’s resources, testing its capacity to process and welcome new asylum seekers. Many find themselves entangled in prolonged waiting lists, lacking the proper documentation or work permits crucial for providing for their families. The crisis has also cast a shadow over numerous Jordanian families, especially those with special needs, who now navigate the compounded challenges of the pandemic.
