Saudi aid agency KSrelief has signed an agreement to implement a project to support 1,000 Syrian orphans and their host communities in Jordan.
The project, valued at almost SR4.9 million ($1.3 million), was signed by the agency’s general supervisor, Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabiah, and the secretary-general of the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization, Dr. Hussein Al-Shebli.
The signing ceremony, held at the Saudi Embassy in Amman, was attended by Nayef bin Bandar Al-Sudairi, the Kingdom’s ambassador to Jordan and non-resident ambassador to the State of Palestine, and representatives of international humanitarian organizations.
As well as providing funds to cover the cost of the orphans’ basic needs, the agreement will support a range of education, recreation and community initiatives in Amman, Zarqa, Mafraq, Irbid, Ajloun, Jerash, Balqa, Madaba, Karak, Tafilah, Ma’an and Aqaba.
