Housing Bank, BDC, and the Higher Council Partner to Empower 25 Aspiring Entrepreneurs with Disabilities
Housing Bank has supported the Business Development Center (BDC) in implementing a specialized entrepreneurship training designed to empower 25 young men and women with disabilities and promote self-employment opportunities.
Organized in coordination with the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the training stems from Housing Bank commitments, which were made at the World Disability Summit 2025 held in Berlin this past April. The initiative seeks to enable persons with disabilities to become active contributors to society and the economy, particularly in developing countries.
This support falls under Imkan by Iskan, the bank’s corporate social responsibility program, making Housing Bank one of the first institutions to translate national directives and summit commitments into tangible action.
This training reflects Housing Bank’s ongoing commitment to the Central Bank of Jordan’s directives on enhancing financial inclusion and ensuring services meet the diverse needs of persons with disabilities beyond basic banking, fostering social and economic empowerment. Through Imkan by Iskan, the bank is dedicated to breaking down barriers, creating opportunities, and improving quality of life for all, with a focus on equity and participation in everyday activities and the local economy.
Over a 10-day period, participants received both practical and theoretical training covering key entrepreneurial topics such as business planning, access to financing mechanisms, and feasibility studies. The initiative helped equip them with essential skills and tools to pursue entrepreneurship and integrate more effectively into the labor market.
It is worth noting that the Business Development Center is a leading Jordanian non-profit. It designs and implements development programs aimed at creating job opportunities, fostering entrepreneurship, promoting self-employment, and enhancing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises across the Kingdom.
