The Institute for Family Health (IFH) is putting great efforts towards spreading awareness on best practices in dealing with the COVID-19 virus outbreak and continuing to support our clients and communities. Recently we re-opened almost all of our 26 clinics due to the generous contribution of JD 35,000 worth of protection and health supplies from Faz3et Shabab, a grassroots local movement by Jordanian youth which emerged in response to COVID-19. IFH
has formed a team of doctors and health experts that are available
during this time to answer any questions or provide support as
necessary to those who call for medical, mental and rehabilitation
assistance.  Resources (Click to Open): Up-to-date health information and messages are shared through their mobile application directly with their clients and on their social media platforms urging proper hygiene and encouraging people to stay home. See more on (Facebook) and (Twitter).         |
Mayar, Jubilee School student, explaining how the school has adapted to online education. Upon
the regulations issued by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of
Education on the closure of all academic institutions, the Jubilee School is
fully activating its virtual platforms. Students are keeping up with
their daily schedule by accessing their lessons and meet their
classmates online to have discussions and interactive activities online.
The Student affairs department follows up with those who do not attend
and provides support to students such as solving internet access issues
to those who cannot afford access. The Jubilee Center for Excellence in Education continues
supporting the young scholars of the Albert Einstein German Academic
Refugee Initiative (DAFI) program. DAFI students are able to continue
with their lessons online as all universities in Jordan have moved to
e-learning. The DAFI team is facilitating support to students residing
in camps who have weak internet access. Extended electricity provisions
to provide longer online study periods have also been helpful.  The students’ allowances continue to be disbursed through e-wallets. All students have medical insurance through their universities. Individual counseling by phone, online and through social messaging is on-going providing support, health information and emergency contacts with different UN agencies, public and the Foundation’s support lines. |
To support clients and protect their safety during these unprecedented circumstances, Tamweelcom has postponed all loan payments due for the month of March 2020.  |
The Community Development Program is creating awareness among the micro-entrepreneurs supported by the business development incubators by providing information, through social media and messaging platforms, on how they and their communities can protect themselves from the virus spreading.   |
The National Center for Culture and Arts participated in a local campaign to urge citizens and residents to stay in their homes to help combat the spread of the virus through a video that was published across social media and Jordan TV. Ballet and conditioning classes for the young ballerinas and dancers of the Misk Dance Company continue to be taught online.   |
