She was excited to be able to put her knowledge and skills in what she loved to do the most- training in small scale farming.\u00a0 She was also happy that the women association collected some of the vegetables to use them along with other ingredients to train women in the production kitchens. \u201cWe started producing all kinds of food, pastries, and sweets and managed to organize local Bazaars which was a good start for small income\u201d said Abeer. Even schools, families, medical centers, and other institutions inside the camp started ordering from our group.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"float: left; border-width: 5px; margin: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Abeer_1.jpg\" alt=\"Abeer_1.jpg\" width=\"299\" height=\"199\" \/>Things had to change since the outbreak of COVID 19. When the state of emergency was declared across Jordan, Abeer, along with DSPR Jordan staff were thinking how they can use the production Kitchen initiatives and the Green Houses project for relief activities. As volunteers were not able to work at the kitchen due to social distancing, they thought that providing what is available at the green house and production kitchen facility was opportune for poor families in the refugee camp. Within a week, more than 150 food parcels composed of vegetables and leafy vegetables (from the green house) were distributed to the poorest households inside the camp. Also, portions of sugar, flour, canned food (from the production kitchens) were part of the parcels and distributed by the local committee as a first response to COVID19 in Al Husn Camp while taking the safety precautions while doing all this.\u00a0 \u201cWe are very proud of our committees and volunteers who are creative and ready to help the most vulnerable among our beneficiaries!\u201d said Mr. Fares Swais- Executive Director, DSPR Jordan. \u201cIn the weeks to come and when some normalcy is restored, we anticipate more needs to relief the poorest households in our different refugee camps\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Production Kitchens is model developed by DSPR Jordan and supported by the Irish Embassy in Jordan to help women to learn basics of food for business production through an intensive course (meals for association and individual levels). Women who undergo the training learn about producing in their homes, DSPR Production unit, or within the local women associations catering such as hot meals, snacks and small food products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of its efforts to improve the socio-economic situation of women in Al Husn Refugee camp, the Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR) Jordan established two green-houses next to its vocational training center.\u00a0 The aim of developing these &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dspr_jordan_from_the_community_to_the_poorest_households\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20010,"featured_media":24704,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[],"topic":[20271,20237,20314],"region":[20025,20023,20022],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>DSPR-Jordan: From the community to the poorest households - Global Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dspr_jordan_from_the_community_to_the_poorest_households\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DSPR-Jordan: From the community to the poorest households - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As part of its efforts to improve the socio-economic situation of women in Al Husn Refugee camp, the Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR) Jordan established two green-houses next to its vocational training center.\u00a0 The aim of developing these &hellip; Read more\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dspr_jordan_from_the_community_to_the_poorest_households\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-04-09T00:15:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/DSPR_MECC-5.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"100\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Middle East &amp; Europe - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Middle East &amp; Europe - Global Ministries\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dspr_jordan_from_the_community_to_the_poorest_households\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dspr_jordan_from_the_community_to_the_poorest_households\/\",\"name\":\"DSPR-Jordan: From the community to the poorest households - Global Ministries\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-04-09T00:15:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-04-09T00:15:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/#\/schema\/person\/446b6f8492d6e1e8a620fbef58ed876f\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dspr_jordan_from_the_community_to_the_poorest_households\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dspr_jordan_from_the_community_to_the_poorest_households\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/dspr_jordan_from_the_community_to_the_poorest_households\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"DSPR-Jordan: From the community to the poorest households\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/\",\"name\":\"Global Ministries\",\"description\":\"Global Ministries is a common missional witness of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ.
