At Hopes for Training, Education, and Development, every day brings new stories of hope, resilience, and transformation. Our programs are designed to empower the most vulnerable in Jordan—refugees and underprivileged communities who have faced unimaginable hardships but continue to fight for a better future.
Here, we want to share a few inspiring stories from individuals whose lives have been touched by our work.
Fatima’s Journey: From Displacement to Opportunity
Fatima is a mother of four who fled conflict in her home country and arrived in Jordan as a refugee. With little more than the clothes on her back, she struggled to find stability in a foreign land. That’s when she discovered Hopes for Development.
Through our vocational training program, Fatima learned sewing and tailoring skills. She quickly became one of the top students in her class, mastering the craft with determination and enthusiasm. Today, she runs a small tailoring business from her home, providing for her family and even employing a few other women in her community. Fatima’s resilience and determination are a shining example of how education can transform lives.
Ahmad’s Path to Self-Sufficiency
Ahmad was a bright young student who had to leave school when his family was displaced. He was eager to learn but had no access to education in the refugee camp. Through Hopes for Development, he enrolled in our literacy program and began catching up on the education he had missed.
Not only did Ahmad excel academically, but he also joined our life skills workshop, where he learned leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. Now, Ahmad is a peer mentor in his community, helping other young refugees navigate their challenges. His dream is to continue his studies and become a teacher, passing on the gift of knowledge to others.
The Ripple Effect of Change
These are just two of the many stories we witness every day. At Hopes for Development, we believe that investing in one person’s education or training can create a ripple effect that benefits entire communities. When individuals gain confidence and skills, they are more likely to support their families, contribute to their communities, and inspire others to pursue their dreams.
We are proud of the work we do and the lives we have touched, but we know there is so much more to be done. With your support, we can continue to provide education, skills training, and hope to those who need it most.
