Housing Bank participated in the "Hike for Health and Heritage" charity hike organized by Himmetna Health in Petra. Held in cooperation with the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the event took place on 21–22 August 2026, bringing together more than 300 participants, including officials and representatives from banks, financial institutions, national organizations, and private sector companies, alongside Housing Bank employees.

Through its participation, Housing Bank supported an initiative that channels sports and volunteerism into meaningful community impact. The proceeds from the hike will support the reconstruction and expansion of Al-Qatrana Health Center, located along the Desert Highway, transforming it into a comprehensive health center equipped with an ambulance and emergency unit and a trauma center. The project will strengthen the availability and preparedness of healthcare services in the area and help enable faster responses to emergencies and traffic accidents along one of the Kingdom’s major highways.

The bank’s participation also supported the broader objectives of the initiative, which seeks to promote Jordan’s tourism, heritage, and archaeological sites both locally and internationally. Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a destination that brings together visitors and cultures from around the globe, provided a fitting setting for an event that brought participants together around a shared purpose centered on health, giving, and volunteerism.

Housing Bank’s participation in the hike builds on its ongoing support for Himmetna Health and reflects its approach to social responsibility, which focuses on building lasting partnerships with initiatives and community organizations working in vital sectors, particularly healthcare and tourism. The bank also encourages its employees to take part in initiatives, giving them opportunities to contribute directly to the communities they serve and broaden their impact.

Housing Bank has previously supported Himmetna Health’s efforts to improve healthcare facilities by upgrading treatment centers in line with international standards and strengthening collaboration between the private sector and civil society organizations in support of the public healthcare system. The bank has contributed to several projects, including the reconstruction and equipping of Ghor Al-Mazra’a Comprehensive Health Center, the rehabilitation and development of Princess Basma Health Center in the capital’s Ras Al-Ain, and the complete outfitting of an intermediate care unit for patients receiving treatment at the Oncology Center at Al-Basheer Hospital.
