Thousands of vulnerable children in Jordan attend school without adequate nutrition, affecting their health, concentration, and academic performance. Tkiyet Um Ali's School Feeding Program provides healthy, preservative-free date bars to students in underserved public schools. Produced by beneficiaries of Dar Abu Abdullah's vocational programs, the initiative improves child nutrition while creating sustainable livelihoods and supporting local agriculture.
Thousands of children from low-income families in Jordan attend school hungry or without access to nutritious food. Poor nutrition affects their health, concentration, attendance, and academic performance, limiting their ability to reach their full potential. Families facing poverty often cannot afford healthy snacks, while vulnerable communities continue to struggle with food insecurity, making school feeding an essential investment in children's future.
Tkiyet Um Ali, in partnership with Dar Abu Abdullah and the Ministry of Education, provides vulnerable students with monthly boxes of nutritious date bars made from natural, preservative-free ingredients. The bars are distributed to children in underserved public schools, improving their nutrition, energy, and ability to learn. Produced locally by trained beneficiaries using Jordanian ingredients, the program also creates jobs, supports local farmers, and strengthens food security.
The program will improve children's health, nutrition, school attendance, and academic performance by ensuring regular access to healthy food during the school year. Over time, it will help build healthier, better-educated communities while reducing food insecurity among vulnerable families. Through local production, the initiative also creates sustainable jobs, supports Jordanian farmers, and strengthens resilient, community-based food systems.
