The Queen had met the beneficiaries who run 100 small
projects across Jordan in October and supported them with additional funding to
help cushion the pandemic’s impact on their initiatives, a statement by Her
Majesty’s office said.
Founder of the
Community Centers Association (CCA) Sari
Nasser and CCA President Firyal Saleh attended the meeting where Her Majesty
heard from the project owners about the progress of their businesses and the
effect of last year’s grants on their performance.
The owners explained how the additional funds have created
new opportunities for increased productivity, enhanced the quality of their
products, and improved their marketing and packaging efforts.
The Queen stated that the pandemic’s impact has not spared
anyone but disproportionately affected some more than others.
Originally implemented by the CCA, with the support of a
Royal grant and the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, the
income-generating projects cover various vocational fields, chief of which are
agriculture, raising livestock, handicrafts, sewing, construction, and beauty
treatments and services.
