Her Majesty was
welcomed to the Al-Ahd and Al-Ittifaq Charitable Society’s headquarters by its
president, Farhan Al-Methhan, before joining members of its board of directors,
who briefed her on the society’s achievements and upcoming goals.
The society
operates an array of economic and charitable projects and programs, creating
local employment opportunities to support the East Thuheibeh community.
During the meeting,
Her Majesty lauded the board members for their diligence and dedication to
uplifting their communities, adding that their work is evident of their “deep
commitment to the values of solidarity, cooperation, and generosity.”
Al-Ahd and
Al-Ittifaq Charitable Society, in collaboration with the Jordan River
Foundation, disperses the RHC-supported fund to members of its community,
aiming to empower local residents to launch their own income-generating
projects and improve their livelihoods.
Queen Rania also
met with some of the society’s beneficiaries, who briefed her on their
income-generating projects.
“These enterprises
have flourished because they meet the needs of your communities,” Her Majesty
said. She also attributed their success to the beneficiaries’ grit and wise
management, adding that their efforts have created opportunities for others.
During her tour of
East Thuheibeh, the Queen stopped by the area’s sole water purification
facility, which provides filtered and ozone-treated tap water to the entire
community. She also visited a number of local homes, meeting with several women
who serve as their families’ main breadwinners.
Established in 2013 as a multidisciplinary organization, the
Al-Ahd and Al-Ittifaq Charitable Society aims to build the capacities of local
families, offering aid to disadvantaged students and the disabled, promoting
water and environmental conservation, and hosting vocational training sessions.
