COVID put a stop to much of the gathering that these ladies have been a part of for decades. They were thrilled to come together as a group with nearly 60 strong.
1.1 Background
The humanitarian impact of the Syria crisis remains deep and far-reaching. More than eight years since the war’s outbreak, Syrian refugees in Jordan have used up most of their resources and the host communities are increasingly strained, while donor fatigue has made the establishment of new projects and continuation of existing programming increasingly difficult.
The Jordan Response Plan (JRP), while only 38% funded in 2018, has a strong emphasis on education. The goal is to ensure sustained access to quality and inclusive education for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians through the following main pillars: (i) increasing access to inclusive education opportunities; (ii) improving the quality of education delivered to all children affected by the crisis; and (iii) strengthening the government’s capacity to plan and manage the education system in light of the extra pressures on the system.
