Board of Directors
Our programmes are implemented under four thematic areas
Education
We support the right of every child to access quality education and gain the skills and knowledge needed.
Health & Nutrition
We ensure that babies and mothers in Jordan have a healthy and nutritional start to life.
Food Security and Livelihoods
We are determined to alleviate the effects of poverty on children so that they receive their basic needs for survival, education, and opportunity.
Child Protection
Our programs ensure the most vulnerable children are safe and protected.
Save the Children Jordan supports the right of every child to access quality education and gain the skills and knowledge needed to thrive.
- We aim to improve the learning outcomes and wellbeing of vulnerable children by enhancing the learning environment in public schools.
- We support the social, emotional, and cognitive development of children from birth to 18 years old.
- Our Early Learning Centers prioritize Early Childhood Care and Development while supporting the social, emotional and cognitive development of children in camps.
- We support the enrollment of out-of-school children in formal and informal education.
- We ensure that children's education does not stop during crises. We reach every child so they do no fall behind or dropout.
- We provide parents with awareness sessions to enhance their wellbeing and their children's health, protection and learning.
- We pilot programs that incorporate technology and digital learning tools.
SCJ continuously implements and aims to expand upon a comprehensive Livelihoods strategy that is child centric and focuses on sustainable durable solutions. Our holistic approach entails the integration of our 4 thematic areas when possible, therefore livelihoods programming would supplement or encompass the inclusion of child protection, education or health and nutrition when interventions are designed. This entails the targeting and inclusion of most vulnerable and marginalized individuals and communities, including Syrian and refugees of other nationalities, as well as host communities. Integration of social cohesion, gender equality, sensitivity to persons with disabilities, and prevention of child labor are priorities. Our reach is throughout all governorates of Jordan, including rural, urban, refugee camps and informal tent settlements.
