Program Overview
CARE’s Jordan office opened in 1948 to meet the needs of
Palestinian refugees who lost their land with the creation of
Israel.
In
the Levant, social customs limiting women’s freedom to work and
make decisions within their homes and communities mean they are
disproportionately affected by poverty. Large family sizes mean
women spend a lot of their time looking after their children and
must negotiate around these priorities to participate in outside
activities. Using the Jordan Program as a centre providing
a model for other work, CARE intends to take opportunities to
replicate work across the Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Working in
partnership with strong local organizations CARE’s portfolio now
includes four programs:
