💙🌍SPAN Supporting Children in Jordan

SPAN is delighted to have recently supported a charity based in As-Salt, Jordan, working with deaf and deaf-blind children.

The Holy Land Institute for the Deaf and Deafblind provides education and specialist support to children of all backgrounds.

The Deaf and Deafblind School is the only one of it’s kind in the Middle East, giving deaf and deaf-blind children the opportunity to learn, communicate and gain skills for everyday life.

We’re proud to support this wonderful work through the Friends of the Holy Land Institute for the Deaf and Deafblind. Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow and thrive 💙

Thank you to everyone who donates to SPAN, your support enables SPAN to support projects like this. 💙🌍

💧Making a Difference in Myanmar💙

This month SPAN responded to an appeal from a charity working in Myanmar by helping to fund a new borehole.💧

Around 10 million people in Myanmar still lack access to safe, clean water.💦

Ongoing conflict⚠️, displacement, poverty💔and natural disasters🌪️continue to make daily life incredibly difficult, especially in rural communities.

Access to clean water💦 doesn’t just save lives - it improves health, restores dignity and brings hope for a better future.

Thank you to everyone who supports SPAN. Together, we’re helping to make a lasting difference, one community at a time.💙
