Housing Bank has announced its ongoing support for Dar Abu Abdullah's hydroponic project, a key initiative aimed at combating poverty through capacity building and self-employment. The bank has financed nine plastic houses within "Bab Amman" farm to empower project beneficiaries, helping them become productive and engaged members of society.
This initiative aligns with the objectives of Imkan by Iskan, Housing Bank’s social responsibility program, reflecting the bank's commitment to addressing community needs and providing effective solutions to local challenges. The program focuses on enhancing both social and environmental empowerment, reinforcing the bank’s dedication to sustainability and its collaborative approach with national institutions that share a vision for social and economic development.
This support is part of a long-standing partnership between Housing Bank and Dar Abu Abdullah, which collaborates with Tkiyet Um Ali, a strategic partner, to create a comprehensive development model. This model empowers individuals within the Tkiyet Um Ali database by equipping them with the tools and skills necessary for self-sufficiency, paving the way for a brighter future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
The "Dar Farm" in Bab Amman Municipality, Jerash, is one of several hydroponic farming projects managed by the Business Development Unit at Dar Abu Abdullah. These projects aim to achieve economic sustainability and food security for beneficiaries. Housing Bank’s donation will finance an agricultural cycle at the Dar Farm, covering direct costs such as seeds and planting. This support will facilitate financial returns and enable the reinvestment of capital into future agricultural cycles, fostering sustainable income for beneficiaries.
It is worth noting that Dar Abu Abdullah is a non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals and enhancing their capabilities. It addresses the root causes of food poverty in Jordan through economic empowerment programs, offering pathways for both employment and self-employment through small, micro, and home-based projects. Founded by Her Royal Highness Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, Chairperson of the Board of Directors, Dar Abu Abdullah honors the legacy of the late King Hussein bin Talal, who championed the belief that "human beings are the most precious thing we have."
