At the Ya’rub Development Charity Association, Her Royal Highness delivered support provided by the campaign to equip the association’s productive kitchen with equipment and supplies to develop the kitchen affiliated with the association, which provides job opportunities for four women, enabling the kitchen to expand its services and increase its revenues to help fund the development programmes implemented by the association for the targeted groups.

The campaign also provided supplies for iftar meals that the kitchen will prepare and distribute to 100 families in the Naser Camp area.

During the handover of the assistance, Her Royal Highness commended the women who run home-based productive projects and their determination to face challenges through entrepreneurial ideas that benefit their families and the local community, in the presence of the Mutasarrif of Marka District, Ahmad Al-Zaboun, the Chair of the Prince Al-Hassan Camp Committee, Ziyad Salman, and the Chair of the Ya’rub Charity Association, Jalal Salman.

Her Royal Highness said that the efforts led by The Goodwill Campaign and its partners come within the framework of the campaign’s keenness to reinforce and deepen the meanings of solidarity and social cohesion, and to provide opportunities for success and sustainability for entrepreneurial productive projects, especially those run by women, stemming from the campaign’s appreciation of the role of women and their mission in society and in the development process.
