About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This volunteering is part of the ECHAV project which empowers vulnerable communities through you as HumAid Volunteers. Jordan Health Aid Society international (JHASi) is a non-governmental and a non-profit organization founded in 2005 in Jordan. JHASi’s mission is to provide impartial high quality health care services for disadvantaged individuals in Jordan, in both urban and camps settings, and to build advocacy toward disease prevention and healthy living. The activities of volunteers will take place in two different locations: at the headquarters office of JHASi in Amman city and in the Zaatari refugee camp at the border between Jordan and Syria. Your tasks include: office work in JHASi headquarters in Amman, animation and entertainment for children in the refugee camp next to logistical support and to search for new partnerships and collaborations. Volunteers will work full-time (30 hours per week) and will have two days off per week.

🏠 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. Queen Alia International Airport is the main airport in the area and it is 32 km from Amman city.

🎒 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).
