Campaigns all year round

The head of the Jordan "Mojadidun" Association, Rami Abu Al-Saman, confirms that the charitable campaigns and initiatives implemented by the association's team continue throughout the year, but they double in the month of giving.

Abu Al-Samen explains that the association has 3 programs that are carried out by volunteers: "We feed, we live, we empower":

  • We feed:

    a program specialized in all feeding projects, such as charitable parcels, orphan breakfasts, and providing morning meals to more than a thousand children daily in the less fortunate schools in the Kingdom, in addition to distributing food parcels to chaste families.

  • Neskin:

    a program that includes multiple projects related to the home and its contents, such as the Al-Noor housing project, which is intended to build housing units for widowed and divorced women who have no breadwinners.

  • We Empower:

    An empowering program for the community and youth through a number of projects, such as the “Mostaqbal Project”.

    Abul-Samen explains that they are about to launch it in “Mojaddideen” with the aim of “training the children of chaste families in the field of technology, and then employing them after training, and then they will become the breadwinners for the family. The training takes place in several skills, including: communication, team management, project management and others.”

Ramadan joy tent for orphans

The Al-Farah tent for orphans opened its doors again this year, according to Abu Al-Samin, after a two-year break due to the Corona pandemic, and returned to provide during the month of fasting 30 daily breakfasts for orphaned children in all regions of the Kingdom.

Al Noor housing for widows and divorcees

Abu Al-Samen told Al-Jazeera Net that "the Al-Noor residence is for women who do not have a specific appointment, and we started its establishment in 2016 with the establishment of an apartment for a woman in the Ghor Al-Mazraa area in poverty areas, and so far we have been able to establish 6 apartments, and after the end of the holy month, the families that will reside in it will be selected." In addition to establishing small projects in the area, such as shops that can employ children of chaste families.

future project

Abu Samman believes that the idea of ​​a "future project" came to support youth employment, especially that the percentage of young people under the age of 34 exceeds 70% in Jordanian society, and the stagnant majors are large and numerous, and unfortunately many young people graduate without finding work.

He added, "We saw that the field of technology and information is the field that will have a future. This specialization is in demand in the labor market, and accordingly we have organized a mechanism to train young people and employ them later, so that they can support their families."

These projects and programs are implemented by more than 1,500 volunteers during the month of Ramadan, serving more than 70,000 beneficiaries.

He confirms that the work of the "Renewed" team did not stop during the pandemic, despite the challenges, noting that they "launched electronic campaigns to employ volunteers in preparing and distributing packages of goodness to chaste families in various regions of the Kingdom."

Regarding the mechanism of distributing goodness parcels, volunteers conduct a random study of several families in the governorates, and accordingly these studies are approved for distribution, and we distribute more than 7000 food parcels during Ramadan, according to Abul-Samen.
