"Ibtisam" started on 1 December 2016 and will continue for the next 10 months, during which we will renovate two schools in the districts of Irbid and Amman. After the intervention and bringing them up to standard, the schools will be able to accommodate almost 3,000 Syrianə and Jordanianə children.

In parallel, 20 social workers and health workers, together with 106 teachers, will participate in a training course on child protection, protection, trauma care.

Ensuring continuity in the schooling of those who have had to flee the war, and psycho-social support to overcome together the traumas left by the conflict: these are the objectives of the project, in line with the work we also do every day in Iraq and Syria as part of the Child Protection Programme in conflict zones.
