“CARE makes
an additional effort to support vulnerable communities during the holy month of
Ramadan to enable families to meet their urgent basic needs, access shelter and
increase access to education for children who are at risk of or have already
dropped out of school,” stated
CARE Jordan Country Director, Ammar Abu Zayyad.
“Our programs deploy different approaches to reduce the risks and occurrence of
negative coping mechanisms such as child labor, early marriage, school
dropouts, and/or GBV,” he added.
Over seven
decades of experience, CARE Jordan has built programs that span the needs of
those most vulnerable, while innovating and leading on CARE’s gender
priorities. CARE’s work focuses on women and girls as a key element to
effectively responding to crises and their underlying factors. CARE in Jordan
today leads a unified emergency and development response to support vulnerable
populations sustainably, expand effective partnerships, and enhance empowerment
programming, especially for women and youth.
