Success story of changing lives through decent jobs
Jordan
Focus
An ILO project in the Jordan Valley has provided vital income for two agricultural workers, Shadia Alawneh from Jordan and Sahar Ruslan from Syria. Both their lives have been marked by difficulties and worries over how to provide for their children and families, mostly because of the unstable nature of their occasional jobs. This changed when they started benefiting from the services provided by one of the six cooperatives in the country that collaborated with PROSPECTS. Through the initiative, the ILO helped the selected cooperatives in facilitating access to decent-work opportunities for Jordanian and Syrian agricultural workers.
