Middle School for Girls

With the renovation of the classroom and the construction of an additional one completed, the Middle School for Girls, Mustanada Province, was handed over on 17 July to the Ministry of Education. This marked the completion of all the projects implemented by JEN and thus the closure of the JEN Amman Office.

The JEN Office in Amman, Jordan, opened in 2003 as the operational base to support the Iraq programme. From 2012, the Amman Office was engaged in the emergency assistance to the Syrian refugees in the Zaatari Camp and the adjacent refugee hosting local communities.

In the Zaatari Refugee Camp, JEN improved the water-supply system, activated the refugee community, promoted sanitation and hygiene awareness among the refugees. Through the media production project, we also tried to empower the refugee youths.

In the refugee hosting communities, we supported those schools enrolling refugee children by renovating and expanding the water facilities, and teaching sanitation and hygiene to the pupils – and thus improving their overall water-supply and sanitation arrangements.

During the last six years, with the end of the Syrian crisis still not in sight, JEN worked hard to enhance the quality of life of the refugees in Jordan.
We are not sure when the Syrian refugees will repatriate, but when they do, we are hopeful that those refugees that participated in the JEN projects, will be among those to take the lead in becoming self-sustaining.

For the past fifteen years, JEN successfully had run the Amman Office. This was made possible thanks to the dedicated work of the local and the Iraqi staff, as well as the refugee volunteers.

Last but not least, we cannot thank all of you enough for the unchanging support you had extended to JEN Amman during these years.
