The Jordan River Foundation
(JRF),

non-profit Jordanian non-governmental organization (NGO).
Our Vision
Our vision is to empower society, especially women and children, and in turn,
improve the quality of life to secure a better future for all Jordanians.
Our Mission
The Jordan River Foundation's mission is to promote, in
partnership with stakeholders, the development of a dynamic Jordanian society by
initiating and supporting sustainable social, economic and cultural programs
that empower communities and individuals based on their needs and priorities.
Our Dedication
At the outset, the Foundation initiated socio-economic
projects for women to provide employment opportunities that enhanced their
livelihood while developing their knowledge and skills in handicraft production
and entrepreneurship. These projects benefited thousands of individuals,
directly and indirectly, and continue to generate income for vulnerable
communities and families.
As the Foundation matured, and the context of
development evolved in Jordan, the Foundation expanded its approach to one of
sustainable community investments, integrating and serving community development
needs.

internationally as an agent for positive change and as a leading Jordanian
institution contributing to the social and economic well-being of citizens. Our
activities have become models for emulation receiving accolades by our
beneficiaries who are often held up as "success stories".
