Vårt arbeid i Jordan

 

Humanitært overblikk

Siden 2012 har Jordan tatt imot hundretusenvis av syrere på flukt. Per mai 2023 var 660.600 syriske flyktninger registrert hos UNHCR i Jordan, og rundt 135.000 av disse bor fortsatt i flyktningleirer.

De fleste flyktningene har fått lovlig opphold i Jordan. Men tusenvis er fortsatt papirløse. Disse kan ikke få formell jobb, og har begrenset tilgang til viktige tjenester.

Syriske elever har tilgang til formell utdanning i Jordan, men av forskjellige årsaker faller mange fra. Arbeidsledighet, lav inntekt og økende gjeld gjør at de fleste syriske flyktninger i Jordan lever under fattigdomsgrensen og er avhengige av internasjonal bistand for å få grunnleggende beskyttelse og hjelp. Tap av levebrød etter Covid-19 og økende inflasjon har gjort situasjonen verre.

“I thought that I would come to Jordan for a month, two months...a year or two, but I have stayed here to this day. Now there is no hope of returning to Syria. Our city Homs was badly destroyed, our house was levelled because of the bombing” Muhammad is a Syrian refugee from Homs. He fled Syria in 2012 to Jordan and now lives in Mafraq city in northeastern Jordan. Muhammad never thought that he would be a refugee in Jordan drying bread for a living, which is the only option he now has to provide a simple income for his family.

– Det vanskeligste var å tilpasse seg

DO NOT USE (embargoed by head office) Photo: Daniel Wheeler/NRC Description: Ala (22) poses for a portrait. Factual information First name: Ala Age: 22 Current location: Za’atari Refugee Camp, Jordan From: Daraa, Syria. Fled to Jordan in 2012 Occupation: Seamstress at NRC’s youth programme. NRC beneficiary: Yes, Ala received seamstress training as part of NRC’s youth training programme and now works as a seamstress as part of the programme. Interview Ala’s words “I fled Syria in 2012 because of the heavy fighting. I left on foot at 10pm and arrived at the Jordanian border at 6am the next morning. We travelled at night because we were terrified of being attached on the way. There was around 100 of us and many people were injured. When we arrived at the border and were met by the army (Jordanian Army) I felt like a drowning person that had been saved. I felt on edge the entire journey and now I had soldiers telling me ‘You are safe now’, it was all so overwhelming. I live with my five sisters and five brothers. I am the eldest, so I feel responsible for them, and I looked after them during coronavirus. I found out about NRC’s youth programme after doing a four-month sewing scholarship with a different organisation. I became very passionate about sewing so I wanted to continue my training and the programme at NRC seemed perfect. When I started on the programme, I realised that I still had so much to learn, and it was very intensive but rewarding. The programme is delivered in three phases, with the first stages being training and the third phase being an employment opportunity. I live on the other side of the camp and walk an hour each day to get to the centre. It’s a long walk in the desert heat but it’s so worth it. An average day for me is waking up at 6am and after getting ready, I walk to the centre and we started work at 8:30am. At 12:30am we have a lunch break and then we work until 3pm. After I walk back home, I usually have a nap because the work is tiring but very rewarding. When asked what the programme means to her, she replies with: “This opportunity that NRC has given me has provided me with financial independence and an opportunity for success in my life. My father is so proud of me and that is very important to me.” When asked what she wants to do in the future, she says: “In the future, I want to open my own sewing centre for women which has integrity and quality – just like NRC.”
