A recent United Nations study found that there were over 700,000 registered refugees living in Jordan. Many are from Syria and others are from Iraq and other countries. [source] In many cases it is illegal or difficult for refugees to find work.  When refugees do find work, they are often underpaid or taken advantage of. You can help a family with a monthly food voucher through this sponsorship program. By providing this food voucher, it will help free up any other possible income to be used for medical care, education, shelter and clothing. 

• Suggested monthly giving amounts: $45, $30, or $15* 
• Your gift will be combined with others to provide food vouchers for individuals and families in the greatest need. Amount received varies based on need and family size.
• Sponsors will receive a quarterly update with prayer requests and stories from families who have received help.
• We make a 6 month commitment to a family, with a possibility of renewal based on need.

*5% goes toward administrative costs.

The winter months in Jordan are very damp and cold. Most homes are made of concrete, which does very little to protect from frigid temperatures and humidity. Many adults and children remain sick throughout the winter months because of the lack of warmth. Each winter we provide blankets to refugee families to help keep them warm during the night. As God provides, we are able to help some families with gas heaters and gas bottles, which will keep one room warm for a family to sleep in at night.

Each month we distribute hundreds of diapers to refugee families with babies and toddlers. This is a large expense for families, and providing diapers helps free up other income they have for food and shelter. We also help a number of people with disabilities who need adult diapers.

Almost every day a refugee comes to the Community Center to ask for some type of medical assistance for a family member in need. Not being able to afford simple prescription medications can cause treatable conditions to worsen.  Past needs have included cancer treatment, labor and delivery care, surgery, high blood pressure and diabetes care. 

Many refugees emigrating from Jordan will go to a country where English is the primary language. If they arrive proficient in English, it helps them adapt more quickly and find employment opportunities. If you would like to come to Jordan to teach English to refugees, please contact us. 

Every few months we offer courses for refugee women at our Community Center. We offer weekly lessons on basic skills to help them make the most their time in Jordan and prepare for the future. Specific subjects include: budgeting with a limited income, creating a resume, utilizing programs and benefits available to them in Jordan, interacting with others in their community,  providing income for their families from the home, learning how their personal giftings can help themselves and others, and more.
