AMMAN — The Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) and Tkiyet Um Ali (TUA) on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding to continue supporting the programmes and activities of the TUA in order to assist needy families.
The MoU stems from the mutual commitment of both sides to provide social support and achieve community solidarity, reflecting the strategic partnership between them, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The MoU outlines the support for TUA's programmes and activities, including the monthly distribution of food parcels to a number of families benefiting from the TUA's initiatives.
ACC President Khalil Hajj Tawfiq said that the support for the food parcel programme is a contribution from the merchants of Amman and reflects the chamber's commitment to supporting charitable and voluntary initiatives that help provide for low-income families.
During the signing of the MoU, which was attended by ACC Vice Presidents Nabil Khatib and Bahjat Hamdan, Hajj Tawfiq added that providing such assistance is a national duty towards the poorest and most vulnerable citizens, and reflects the spirit of cooperation and solidarity that they seek to strengthen within society.
TUA Director General Samer Balqer commended the chamber’s continued support and commitment to families in need over the past years.
He highlighted that the TUA places great importance on enhancing cooperation with private sector institutions, believing in the necessity of involving various entities in supporting the goals and programmes of TUA.
TUA provides sustainable food assistance to 20,000 families living below the food poverty line nationwide, through the monthly distribution of food parcels containing 20 food items.
