    About the program

    Around 92 per cent of the population are practicing Muslims in Jordan. The Ramadan project is a unique opportunity for volunteers to experience Ramadan in a Muslim culture, while helping provide Iftar meals to low-income families and individuals.

    We partnered with local institutes and community kitchens which serves around 1,500 Iftar meals each day throughout Ramadan and provides a social place for people to break their daily fast with a warm meal.

It is an exciting chance to learn the Jordanian way of life, meet local people, eat local food, speak the local language and engage in local customs and traditions. These families receive money from your program fee for support, food and board. This is an opportunity for you to directly see your fees having a positive impact in the community and going back into the local economy.Living is basic yet comfortable, and all homestays have electricity, WiFi and running water. participants can expect to share a room with other participants of the same gender, however in some homestays participants have their own rooms.

    Meals
    Participants are provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, with all meals served at your homestay. Breakfast and dinners tend to be smaller portions with mixed platters including falafel, dips, bread, eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables.
