Introduction
Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international Catholic organization (HQ based in Rome) with a mission to accompany, serve and advocate on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons. JRS has been operating in Jordan since 2008, responding to the education and basic needs of vulnerable people in Amman including refugees, asylum seekers, and host community members. JRS Jordan advocates for the rights of the most vulnerable, especially non-Syrian refugees living in Jordan. JRS serves everyone, without any discrimination, and helpsrefugees to heal, learn, and determine their own future. Misereor is the German Catholic aid organization for development cooperation. Together with its local partners, Misereor supports human beings of every faith and culture. The overall goal in its work with partners in countries of the global south is to contribute to sustainable development by promoting projects and programmes that are directed above all towards the poor. Financial support for these projects is made available by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the German Catholic Central Agency for Development Aid (KZE) and by private donors. Misereor has been funding two JRS projects in Amman. – The Pathfinder program, through which English and computer classes, career coaching, community events, and other courses are provided and implemented. – Protection and Psycho-social support program, mental health support, accompaniment, and referrals are provided.
Description of project
In response to the Protection and Psychosocial Support (PSS) needs of refugees and vulnerable nonJordanians and the gaps in service provision, over the course of October 2022 to December 2023, JRS has been implementing a protection project in Jordan which provides a range of services focused on helping the most vulnerable find the protection and psychosocial support they need while simultaneously strengthening resilience. The project prioritizes refugee children of all nationalities who are under the criteria of SGBV (mostly hosted in the governmental shelter), juveniles (hosted in the governmental shelter, approximately 46), child labor cases, and unregistered non-Syrian. Through the protection and MHPSS Project, JRS provides case management, capacity building, emergency cash assistance, and psychosocial support to strengthen the resilience and well-being of refugee and vulnerable host community members in Amman in different locations: – Two JRS centers (PSS community center and Pathfinder community center) – Three government protection shelters (Juvenile Recovery for Adolescents, Al-Wefakcenter for Women, Child Care shelter for children). The two JRS centers offer psychosocial support activities, life skills, literacy, protection awareness, and referrals to refugees of all nationalities of all age groups (children, and adults), while, in the protected shelters managed by the MoSD, the same services are. provided to Jordanian people housed in the shelters. JRS serves the unregistered or undocumented urban refugee population, UNHCR closed files, cases on appeal, and registered. asylum seekers, and refugees not served by UNHCR or any other agencies. At least 50% of the beneficiaries served by this project are vulnerable Jordanian children and the other 50% are refugee children suffering from serious protection and psychosocial concerns. The table below summarizes the project objective and activities; a total of 685 individuals are expected to directly benefit from this project.
