Johud launches 2022 Ramadan Goodwill campaign

The Goodwill Campaign (GWC), a flagship initiative of the Jordan Hashemite Fund for Human Development (JOHUD), on Wednesday launched this year’s Ramadan program which aims to alleviate the impact of rising living costs on some of the country’s poorest families during the Holy month, targeting 4,040 families across the Kingdom.

Beneficiaries will receive 1,845 food parcels, 550 clothing coupons, 825 iftar meals, in addition to 820 cash transfers of JD60 per household.

The GWC was launched in 1991 by H.R.H. Princess Basma Bint Talal, reaching thousands of individuals and families every year through JOHUD’s extensive national outreach, in a range of programs which include direct family assistance, scholarships, medical interventions, home renovations, and small business support.

Under a 1978 fatwa (edict) by Grand Mufti, contributions to the Goodwill Campaign are recognized as Zakat, and donations are income tax deductible by Tax Law (57).
