Through this
partnership, Talabat Jordan intends to support SOS Children’s Villages’
existing repertoire of programs and activities, which aim to meet the
comprehensive and diverse needs of orphaned children and youth.
The
organization provides its young beneficiaries with a wide range of services and
support, including food, housing, education, physical and mental healthcare,
empowerment, economic security, protection, and community integration. Through
a series of upcoming donation campaigns, Talabat users, partners, and employees
will now be able to support the vital work being done by SOS Children’s
Villages Jordan — all through the convenience and ease of the Talabat app.
Talabat Jordan’s
Managing Director, Hala Siraj, commented on this new partnership, saying,
"We are excited to add SOS Children's Villages Jordan to our ever-growing
virtual charity list. In doing so, we are taking proactive steps to better
facilitate their important work, while also helping our customers, partners,
and employees enhance their positive social impact. As a company, we are keen
to support people and communities everywhere, with a particular focus on
children and youth. In doing so, we are expanding and solidifying our vision of
being a purpose-driven company, whose commitments extend far beyond our core
operations and investments.”
For her part, the
Country Director of SOS Children's Villages Jordan, Rana Al-Zoubi, expressed
her happiness in joining forces with Talabat Jordan. She noted that because Talabat
serves all parts of the Kingdom, this strategic partnership will allow
community members across Jordan to contribute to the organization’s mission of
helping meet the diverse needs of children and youth under its care. Al-Zoubi
further underscored how Talabat Jordan serves as a great example of the vital
role that private sector institutions can play in supporting local charities.
SOS Children’s Villages
Jordan is a national non-profit organization caring for over 30 percent of all
orphaned and vulnerable children in Jordan who lack parental care. The
organization operates across 32 houses, three villages, and eight youth houses in
the cities of Amman, Irbid, and Aqaba. Talabat Jordan’s decision to partner
with SOS Children’s Villages Jordan stems from the company’s corporate
responsibility strategy, through which it aims to become a primary and
preferred partner for social and economic empowerment — in much that same way
that it is already is a primary and preferred partner for online ordering and
food delivery throughout the Kingdom.
Over the past two
years, Talabat Jordan has implemented countless corporate responsibility
initiatives and programs benefiting local, regional, and international
communities. Through its virtual charity platform, hosted directly on the app, Talabat
Jordan allows users to donate to renowned charities such as Al-Aman Fund,
Tkiyet Um Ali, the King Hussein Cancer Center, and the Jordanian Food Bank.
Along with this ongoing mechanism for supporting local charitable
organizations, the company has carried out numerous other humanitarian
campaigns in support of communities in need across Jordan, throughout the
region, and worldwide.
