In Karak, Habibi Association’s cheesemaking initiative transforms locally sourced sheep’s milk into Italian-style Pecorino and Ricotta while creating employment and income opportunities for vulnerable Jordanian women.

Through training in cheesemaking, food safety, marketing, and business management, the project supports women’s economic empowerment and contributes to local development.

Launched with the support of USAID, the initiative is now financially independent and continuing to grow.

The BARAKA initiative, implemented with the support of the Swiss Embassy in Jordan, has come to an end.

Following hydroponics training, participants learned about wicking beds, a water-efficient growing method suited to Jordan’s water-scarce environment.

Through BARAKA, Habibi Association equips vulnerable Jordanians and refugees with practical agricultural skills that support economic empowerment and financial independence.

The BARAKA Project, funded by the Swiss Embassy in Jordan, provides a safe and supportive environment where women can develop their skills, unlock their potential, and pursue meaningful economic opportunities.

Implemented through different phases focusing on agriculture and food production, the cheese production component of the project offers hands-on training in Italian cheese-making techniques in Al Wala, Madaba. By combining locally sourced ingredients with Italian expertise, the project supports the creation of high-quality dairy products while equipping participants with practical, market-oriented skills.

Through this approach, BARAKA contributes to strengthening the local economy, promoting entrepreneurship, and creating pathways towards employment and greater self-reliance.

Since the beginning of the project, 3 beneficiaries of the cheese production component have launched their own businesses, using the skills and experience gained through the programme to build sustainable livelihoods.

Switzerland and Habibi remain committed to supporting vocational education and skills development in Jordan, empowering empower people to build sustainable livelihoods.

It’s hard to believe that Santangelo Clinic is already celebrating its second year of operations!

The clinic, which is funded through the support of the Mennonite Central Committee (), has become a vital source of medical care and support in Amman’s Marka District, serving patients who need it most. However, Santangelo is more than a healthcare facility. The project has blossomed into a place where community thrives and hearts come together with a shared sense of hope.

Swipe through for a behind-the-scenes look at life at Santangelo Clinic, and stay tuned for a new website article and Instagram Reel coming later this week!
