Jordan

In the past decade, Jordan has hosted over a million people displaced from Syria, with about half officially registered as refugees. While being one of the largest hosts, Jordan is also one of the world's most water-scarce countries and requires support to cope with both the water and displacement crises.

Limited access to livelihoods, combined with the pressures of climate change, makes it difficult for families, especially those headed by women, to achieve stability and independence. Targeted support is essential to help them rebuild their lives and secure a dignified future.

We have been operating in Jordan since 2018. In Jordan, we help female-headed households through our economic recovery activities in achieving food security, adapting to climate change, and attaining self-reliance.

In Jordan, we support Syrian refugees and vulnerable local communities by strengthening food security, promoting climate-smart practices, and fostering sustainable livelihoods. We establish hydroponic greenhouses that allow families to grow fresh produce in a water-scarce environment, helping them meet their own needs or earn an income by selling what they produce. We also train women and raise awareness of water-efficient agriculture to build long-term economic independence and resilience.
