AMMAN — Dania Ahmad, a young entrepreneur, had the
opportunity to meet the Royal family this week, thanks to her keen business
sense and creativity.
Dania, who fabricates dolls, puppets, furniture for
children’s rooms, and crocheted accessories, started her business on her own
without any support or help. “When I started building my dream business I faced
many difficulties but I completely relied on myself with every single detail,”
the 35-year-old entrepreneur, who lives in Al-Nakhil, said in an interview with Jordan News. “I learned the manufacturing process by myself just by
watching videos on the internet.”
She pursued her dream with seriousness and determination
until she was able to achieve her goal. She declared that she will not stop
here and will work even harder to achieve new and greater successes.
Her hard work led Dania to meet Their Majesties King
Abdullah and Queen Rania as part of a visit to the owners of small businesses.
“Seeing His Majesty King Abdullah gave me a strong impetus to continue and
develop my career with the project,” she said. “His visit makes me feel certain
that our country is supporting us.”
Dania said that meeting the Royal family gave her “great
hope” and “greater determination” for the success of her business. She
emphasized the importance of His Majesty’s support for the youth and their
projects.
All of the young Jordanians at the visit had previously
received training through the Productive Youth Initiative, launched by the
Royal Court in 2019. The youths’ art and handicrafts products will also be on
exhibition at Dar Nemeh in Amman’s Jabal Luweibdeh neighborhood.
A training course was given during the King’s visit,
according to Dania, which will help her achieve her goals and ambitions for her
project. She learned new e-marketing methods and social media skills, which
could enable her to deliver her products internationally, not only locally. She
also learned how to appropriately price her commodities by focusing on the cost
of the tools used and the amount of time and effort expended. Finally, she
learned how to develop her products and choose new concepts to feature.
Dania said that in order to do her part to reduce
unemployment, she gave training courses to refugee women in order to teach them
how to manufacture dolls and puppets, furniture for children’s rooms, and
crochet accessories. She hopes to help them find an entrance to livelihood.
Dania also said that she aspires to expand the project so that she can appoint
more people to work with her and help her.
During the visit, the King complimented the
entrepreneurial spirit of young Jordanians and stressed the importance of small
and home-based businesses.
“I am so thankful that my dream is coming true, and I‘m
achieving my goals,” she told
