Projects

Implemented by SOS Children’s Villages Jordan in partnership with DAI and funded by the United States Government, the “Breaking the Cycle of Violence” project provides comprehensive, survivor-centered support to women and girls affected by or at risk of gender-based violence in Jordan.

Through the Safe Homes model in Amman and Irbid, the project offers 24/7 safe shelter, case management, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), legal aid, healthcare, and livelihood services. It ensures a dignified and empowering environment where survivors and their children can rebuild their lives.

The project also strengthens the capacity of frontline staff, enhances coordination with national protection systems, and promotes sustainable service delivery. By addressing critical gaps in GBV response, the project contributes to ensuring survivors’ safety, well-being, and long-term independence.

The "Eco Champions" project empowers young climate activists, particularly young women and youth in vulnerable positions, to lead the climate agenda. The project provides essential seed funding for youth-led climate initiatives and offers intensive training in developing climate position papers. Participants gain the opportunity to attend the project’s high-level summit and represent youth voices in local, regional, and international climate forums. By fostering inclusive and gender-responsive action, Eco Champions equips youth with the necessary tools, mentoring, and leadership skills to drive systemic change. The project effectively bridges the gap between grassroots communities and global decision-makers, ensuring young leaders are central to climate resilience and policy-making processes worldwide.

This project focuses on institutionalizing environmental awareness by developing climate-integrated curricula and providing comprehensive training for teachers. A core component is the creation of a specialized supportive guide for environmental education, designed to enhance pedagogical approaches in schools. The project goes beyond classroom learning by providing direct support for child-led climate initiatives and ensuring their active participation in environmental conferences.

As part of its innovative approaches, the project is currently training a group of teachers on the use of Minecraft to implement interactive, student-centered activities that promote environmental awareness in engaging and practical ways.

By empowering children to take the lead, the project fosters a generation that is not only environmentally literate but also capable of advocating for their future. This collaboration between the Ministry of Education and SOS Children's Villages aims to create a sustainable educational ecosystem that prioritizes climate action from an early age.

The Global Scholarship Program (GSP) is a flagship initiative under Children’s Villages Worldwide, dedicated to expanding access to equitable, high-quality education for disadvantaged youth. The Program adopts a comprehensive, holistic approach that goes beyond financial support, covering tuition and living expenses while also providing mentoring, psychosocial support, and career guidance.
