Housing Bank has renewed its partnership with Tkiyet Um Ali (TUA) to continue supporting its programs and seasonal campaigns, including those during the holy month of Ramadan. This collaboration aims to achieve TUA’s objectives to enhance food security across the Kingdom. The agreement was signed at Housing Bank’s Head Office by the bank CEO Ammar Al-Safadi and Tkiyet Um Ali's Director General, Samer Balkar, with key representatives from both organizations in attendance.
Commenting on the occasion, Ammar Al-Safadi said, “Our partnership with Tkiyet Um Ali is an essential part of our responsibility that extends beyond banking to social empowerment. It helps expand our positive impact and builds on our five-decade commitment to the community.”
Samer Balkar expressed gratitude for Housing Bank's ongoing support. He emphasized how this partnership is crucial to achieving Tkiyet Um Ali’s mission of combating hunger and malnutrition, ensuring the sustainability of its programs, and expanding its impact on the community.
This renewed partnership falls under the community empowerment pillar of Housing Bank’s social responsibility program, Imkan by Iskan. The bank is committed to supporting humanitarian initiatives and civil society organizations like Tkiyet Um Ali, working together toward a hunger-free Jordan and enhanced food sustainability.
As part of the agreement, Housing Bank will continue supporting Tkiyet Um Ali’s family sponsorship program and participate in volunteer activities, such as food parcel packing and distribution, as well as providing hot meals for iftar in Ramadan at its headquarters in Al-Mahatta. Employees from the bank’s Imkan by Iskan volunteer program will actively engage in these efforts, reflecting Housing Bank’s commitment to fostering a culture of volunteerism and giving back to the community.
Currently, Tkiyet Um Ali provides monthly food support to 20,000 underprivileged families across the Kingdom. It delivers these parcels monthly all year round, where each food parcel is carefully curated to meet the nutritional needs of these families for the entire month.
