Improving living conditions

It’s only mid-August but already it’s 40 degrees celsius at Za‘atari refugee camp.

This year, JEN started providing support to improve the well-being of the most vulnerable families at Za‘atari camp.

A 3 meter x 5 meter container, “caravan” is provided to a family of 6.

The caravan is not large enough to live in, so many families add extra rooms onto the caravan, to create a kitchen and bathroom.

To use the space next to the caravan they lay cement as the ground is rocky and uneven.

However, it is difficult for many families especially those in need of nursing care, single parent families, families with many children and wheelchair users to earn the money needed to improve their living conditions. So some families live on an uneven dirt floor.

So, JEN helped 8 families improve their living conditions, if only by a little, by making cement floors for them.

Please have a look at photos of the work.

JEN will be there for the most vulnerable households to keep providing the support they need.
