The Social Development Society (SDS) launched its development project “My Right to Work 2,” in Markah neighborhood in Amman.
The project is implemented by Expertise France, in partnership with Ministry of Social Development under the umbrella of “Support to Social Protection in Jordan” programme, funded by the European Union, according to a SDS statement on Wednesday.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, the SDS’s Chairman, Amal Sayed, said the project aims to economically empower a number of local community women, 10% of whom are people with disabilities, through free training at the SDS’s headquarters on making toys and children’s supplies.
Continuing:” The SDS seeks to always make the project of a service nature, which will be implemented over a 12-month period to serve and train women in society and empower them economically, especially in light of the Covid-19 pandemic-related economic crisis that increased the rates of of unemployed women.”
The project is a continuation of “My Right to Work 1” project, implemented by the SDS with a grant from EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI), supported by the European Union and EU “Madad Fund,” with the aim of providing the necessary equipment and materials that help empower women economically, the SDS said.
