The whole of Jordan is affected by the Syrian crisis, but the Northern Governorates of Irbid and Mafraq, are receiving increasing numbers of Syrians fleeing war and seeking refugee. A mere look at numbers and resources and the future seems bleak.  Municipalities already struggling with providing necessities are helpless against a pressing demand on basic, social and economic services let alone hiking numbers of unemployment.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)- strongly believing that both Jordanian corporations and individuals- can play a greater role in enhancing the livelihood of vulnerable communities,  hence, this crowdfunding initiative. The goal is to garner support and establish strong partnerships with actors who are ready to make a tangible difference in their societies. With crowdfunding, UNDP aims at mobilizing resources to support, adopt or finance projects in various areas of community services, by matching projects with sponsors.

Sponsors are encouraged to actively take part in shaping the outcome, to the best interest of beneficiaries and their own public image.

The booklet between your hands provides a brief about proposed projects starting from $5000 to $ 50,000 for each municipality. The beneficiaries include all 36 Northern municipalities.
