Tourism development subsidiary of Jordan Dubai Properties, Munya Specialised Resorts has signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) with Jordan River Foundation (JRF), a non-profit NGO. Under the MoC, the organizations will work towards enhancing the living standards of Jordan’s citizens. The project aims to empower the local community and enhance the dynamics within the Jordanian people by creating and supporting sustainable social, economic and cultural programmes.

The MoC also involves the creation and implementation of sustainable social, economic and cultural programmes for the community in Dibeen and surroundings. A key element for the community is training and education. Munya will offer training and education scholarships to students from the area through JRF, and in collaboration with the Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans.

Another focus is productivity projects, where Munya will provide funding to local co-operatives and commissions to establish production projects. The co-operatives will own these projects, which will utilize local resources such as olive, handicraft and agricultural products, and will market their own products as well as give priority to projects that promote tourism and enhance the region's infrastructure, such as stores and markets.

Furthermore, Munya will support the Madrasati initiative through JRF by adopting several schools in Dibeen and its surrounding areas to help improve the schools' infrastructure, develop programs to enrich the learning environment, meet national safety and health requirements, develop teaching tools, and train teachers by giving them additional skills that support their existing experience in this field.

The memorandum was signed by Samir Al-Rifa'i, Munya's chairman, and Valentina Qseisieh, JRF general manager.
