Un Ponte Per has been present in Jordan since 2005, where it works to support the large refugee population fleeing wars and conflicts throughout the region, particularly Iraq and Syria. The aim of the intervention is to ensure access to rights such as mental health, protection, training and legal protection for vulnerable groups, including minors at risk, women survivors of gender-based violence and people with disabilities.
