The program aims to promote child protection and safety, and enhance positive child-rearing practices by approaching the family as a whole. Through a series of social initiatives and collaborations, JRF has helped create jobs for thousands of females, Jordanians and refugees, becoming financially independent while reviving the heritage of traditional cooking, as well as rural and Bedouin community arts.
