The project is launched in cooperation with the Zakat House in Kuwait and the Distance Learning and Training Company.During the ceremony, Social Development Minister Hala Lattouf said that His Majesty King Abdullah pays special attention to the social care sector for persons with disabilities which has witnessed remarkable development as a result of many Royal directives and visits.Lattouf added that centres have been established to serve people with disabilities across the Kingdom within Royal makrumas (beneficiations), which amount to 12 centres, as well as financial support for centres and associations that provide services to people with disabilities.

Around 8,000 Syrian refugees return home in 2017 The total number of refugees returning to Syria from Jordan in 2017 reached 8,037 and over half of those returned in the three months following the July 9 ceasefire in southwest Syria, according to the UNHCR.In December, a total of 375 refugees voluntarily returned to Syria from Jordan maintaining the down trend from previous months – November (421) October (951), September (1,484), August (1,633) July (1,061), Olga Sarrado Mur, associate external relations officer at UNHCR, told The Jordan Times on Wednesday.“In absolute figures, we are still talking about very small numbers when compared to the total registered Syrian refugee population in Jordan 656,692,” she added.When asked about the main reason for leaving Jordan and returning to their country, she said the vast majority of refugees returning to Syria mentioned family reunification as the main drive behind the decision, followed by economic pressure including lack of income-generating activities, living costs in urban areas and limited access to assistance. * Source: Bloomberg, Jordan Times, Zawya Disclaimer Awraq Investments and its affiliates obtain information from sources they believe to be reliable, but do not warrant its accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose, and disclaim for themselves and their information providers all liability arising from the use.
