Hopes for Training, Education and Development serving Refugee and Underprivileged communities in Jordan
Hopes for Training, Education and Development
Jordan is a lower-middle income country with a population of 11.4 million, of which 63% are youth. It hosts around 1.3 million refugees, including 730,000 registered Syrians, Sudanese, and Yemenis. Approximately 82% of registered refugees live outside camps, mainly in urban areas such as Amman and northern Jordan, while more than 2.39 million registered Palestine refugees also reside in the country. By mid-2024, only 7% of the nearly $2 billion required funding for Jordan had been pledged. Against this backdrop, Hopes for Training, Education and Development, established in 2012, operates in Jerash (Gaza) Camp and works with vulnerable communities, with a particular focus on girls and young women, people with disabilities, adolescents, and youth. By employing dynamic, participatory, and collaborative methods, the organization’s primary emphasis lies in four key thematic areas.
