About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Since 2012, the Zaatari refugee camp has become the largest refugee camp in the world. It was established by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) with the aim of hosting Syrians fleeing the violence of the Syrian civil war that broke out in March 2011. A 2020 report by UNHCR estimated 80.000 residents in the camp. Of these, 20% of which are children under 5, the majority born inside the camp and unfamiliar with anything beyond the perimeter of Zaatari. Moreover, they lack any citizenship. Over the years, the camp has taken the form of a city with a growing number of economic activities, including supermarkets, bakeries, schools, gyms, hospitals, spaces designated for worship and courtyards dedicated to recreational activities for children. Jordan Health Aid Society International is one of the organizations active in the camp, providing essential medical care, health education and support to children, contributing to the overall bell-being of the population.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be hosted in fully furnished studios in Amman, equipped with all necessary amenities to live and to cook their daily meals. The location will be near the headquarters office and within walking distance. JHASi also offers the possibility to provide volunteers with prepared meals to be delivered to volunteers’ accommodation. Breakfast will be shared with other staff members in JHASi headquarters as part of social activities and volunteers inclusion.

🎒 Leisure activities

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
