The challenges facing children in Jordan

Jordan is home to roughly 600,000 registered refugees from countries including Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan. Around half of them are children.

There are also more than 2.39 million registered Palestine refugees living in Jordan.

The majority of displaced children in Jordan live in urban areas, where they often experience harsh poverty and difficulties accessing education.

Others are spending their childhoods in large refugee camps that are shut off from the world beyond: during our visits, we often meet children who have never once left the refugee camp where they were born.

Our work with children in Jordan

Since 2022, we’ve run five projects in Jordan, working with displaced children in urban areas and refugee camps, with children with disabilities, and with young people in custody.

Through these programmes, we’ve put on 241 shows, games sessions and play activities, sharing light and laughter with 29,351 children.

Support our work in Jordan

In 2025, we have two projects planned in Jordan, spanning a total of three months, in which we’ll bring play relief to children growing up with severe hardships.

As well as re-visiting children in the country’s large refugee camps, we’ll continue our work with community groups and support groups throughout the country.
