REFUGEES IN JORDAN
Jordan hosts the second-largest number of refugees per capita in the world, with refugees arriving from countries affected by war, such as Syria, Iraq, and Sudan. UNICEF reports that children make up approximately 40% of both the refugee and Jordanian populations. Many government schools in Jordan run on shift systems due to the high number of students. Poor socio-economic conditions, crowded classes, and early marriages put many girls at risk of dropping out of school, with over 40% of Syrian girls out of school after the age of 12 (UNICEF 2020). Cultural norms and high poverty levels further limit girls' opportunities for sports, community involvement, employment, and academic success.
We believe that every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive no matter her background, nationality or legal status- girls should be supported in reaching high quality education and reaching their dreams.
