Tackling illiteracy in women
and girls in Jordan 

In 2015, we began to work with The Sweimeh School for Girls in Balqa to help reduce dropout rates and raise the graduation rate, which had been zero for the previous five years.

In addition to mentoring and teaching activities, we provided financial assistance to improve the school’s infrastructure and employees volunteered to assist with renovations. We are proud that since we began to work with Sweimeh there has been a noticeable improvement with three graduates in 2017 and seven in 2018. We continue to offer mentoring and training to improve the students’ employability after graduation.
