The Queen’s increased focus on supporting income-generating projects in Jordan during the pandemic stems from the crucial role these small enterprises play within their communities. Typically employing members from a single geographic area, these projects are able to offer uninterrupted services to those living nearby, allowing them to meet local needs without requiring excessive social contact with outsiders. Through their determination and willpower, many of the small business owners to receive support have managed to navigate the crisis and turn their projects into successes.
Her Majesty’s efforts within Jordan focus on education, capacity development, women’s empowerment, improving child and family protection services, and driving innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship through society.
Leveraging her global reach to build global interest and support for Jordanian causes, Queen Rania has launched and overseen several local initiatives including the Jordan River Foundation (JRF), Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans, the Royal Health Awareness Society (RHAS),and national teacher training, among others. Several initiatives launched by the Queen have since been adopted by national institutions, allowing them to be scaled in different areas across the kingdom.
