We are continuing the work with *Jamel, ordering his homemade Armenian pastries, sausages and lunches. We are also working with *Rukan, who is from Syria. She is making yummy homemade pickles, Syrian kobah and fresh jams. Amal, from Jordan at the House of Ruth, continues to make the labneh.
 

We are looking for new opportunities and new individuals to work with.

Thank you!

Goat Loan Programme, Jordan

In Mowaqer Village, our work with Um Salim continues and this is our third year of working together. She now has 26 goats and sells the goat milk to cover her children’s school fees. Um Salim has five children and her husband is disabled. He has one paralyzed hand and therefore can’t work.

Um Abdallah lives in Mufaradat Village and she had ten newborn sheep. She sold five of the new sheep and the rest belong to GHNI. Um Abdallah also bought two big sheep with the money she earned from selling the newborns. This will help to increase the productivity of milk and butter. She is also doing well with her dove project and she has gone from having 20 doves to 50. We are there for her and give her the support she needs.

*Rifat is an Iraqi young man and is 17 years old. Rifat and his family have been in Jordan since 2015. He and his family fled from their hometown, Bartila Village, because of the death threats made by violent groups in the area. They did not have anywhere to go. Everything was taken away from them, including their house, their money, their belongings, their friends, their memories, their village . . . everything!

We are still working with Rana, the lady from Syria, in our Vocational Training Programme. We have ordered 50 pickle jars recently to distribute to the refugees during the home visits. It’s a win-win situation because Rana will generate income and the refugees we visit will enjoy her yummy pickles.

Also, we ordered some Armenian pickles and sausage from Jerayer.

Clinic

Dr Fadi has seen about 156 patients, most of them were Jordanian from Ma’ain village, as well as a mix of Syrian and Iraqi patients. Lately, the number of patients has increased, and most of the conditions were general. Only a few patients had chronic diseases like high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus.
