Orange Jordan recently extended its support of a conference held by the Jordan Engineers Association (JEA) entitled: “Women Engineers and Entrepreneurship”.

The conference which was attended by HRH Princess Sumaya,  hosted a series of panels led by a group of experts, focusing on a host of topics related to engineering and entrepreneurship.

The conference targeted  organisations within Jordan that support entrepreneurship, especially women engineers.

Through its different activities, it provided these organisations them with  necessary tools and resources that can help them empower women and embolden their aspirations.

Commenting on the occasion, Chief Enterprise Officer of Orange Jordan Sami Smeirat said: “We highly value our dedicated partnership with JEA, one of our corporate clients.

Supporting Its recent conference regarding aspiring women engineer entrepreneurs  is in line with our company values and goals and it is part of our corporate social responsibility strategy.” 

In cooperation with the Greater Amman Municipality, Royal Jordanian  (RJ) organised an environment day on Sunday, during which volunteers worked to clean areas surrounding the Queen Alia International Airport.

Employees from different RJ departments volunteered to participate in this effort; they cleaned part of Ghamadan Park and other places near the airport road that people usually frequent at this time of the year to enjoy their time.

The initiative comes as part of the company’s national and social role, and its keenness to maintain a clean environment.

The airport road is a gate into Jordan, and the first place guests see; moreover RJ’s employees and passengers are the main users of this road.

RJ implements similar initiatives all around the year through its Media and Corporate Communication and Social Responsibility Department.

With a focus on advocating women’s empowerment and social justice for women and refugees in Jordan, the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) – Legal Aid and Al Marji’ Publications have recently renewed their partnership agreement for the third consecutive year.“Our role as a civil society organisation will only have an impact on the ground with the support of the media. Our partnership with Al Marji’ Publications over the years has been a crucial pillar in engaging the public with issues facing our country and understanding the context, said ARDD-Legal Aid Gender and Media Unit Manager Lana Zananiri at the signing.

“Access to justice is a basic right for everyone, but financial, cultural and political challenges often make it difficult or impossible,” said Laura Haddad, the manager-in-charge at Family Flavours parenting magazine.

“This partnership with ARDD-Legal Aid is thus very important to raise public awareness so that families all over Jordan are safe and able to thrive.” Under the agreement, readers of Jordan’s only parenting magazines, Family Flavours and Nakahat ‘Ailyieh, can find out about success stories of women rising above their challenging circumstances and becoming productive members in their families and society.
