WHAT WE DO

Squash Dreamers is dedicated to training refugee girls in Jordan to become competitive squash players. We also provide English language education with the hopes of enrolling them in schools with squash programs.
About us

WHY WE DO IT

38% of Syrian refugee children across Jordan are not attending formal education. Traditional beliefs and cultural restraints often disincentivize Jordanian women from participating in sports. Refugees in Jordan also face restricted access to health, psychological, and educational services, as well as host society attitudes of racism and xenophobia. By encouraging both Syrian and Jordanian girls to take up squash and English, we hope to empower them through sport and education and provide opportunities of cultural immersion.

HOW YOUR MONEY HELPS

EDUCATION

The girls have English classes four days a week for two hours per session. They are taught by both teachers and local volunteers. While the girls entered the program with zero English exposure, many are close to being able to write a full paragraph! Your donations help us purchase school supplies and pay our teachers.

Squash Training

Our players have squash training four to five days a week for two hours per session. Our dedicated team of coaches works with every skill level to encourage all of the girls to improve. We also participates in camps and tournaments locally and internationally to familiarize the girls with the depth of the squash community and the level of play of international competitors.

Health education

We invite local mental, physical, and women's health experts to teach the girls about what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. We are also developing a mindfulness program to help the girls work through any challenges they have faced as refugees.
