A Swiss Charity Organization Joins Efforts with A UAE Company to Make University Education
by Evan Nasseri Seo ExpertFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Abu Dhabi, UAE (19/5/2018)
- Since surveys of Jordan’s three main refugee camps (Zaatari, Azraq
and Emirati-Jordanian camp) show that less than 1 percent of residents
have access to university education, and considering the fact that there
are more than 750,000 refugees currently hosted in Jordan as urban
refugees, there was a dire need for intervention.
A need that was
met by UniRef, a Swiss International Humanitarian Organization, when
they announced a new project that delivers university education and
vocational training in Jordan’s refugee camps. The bene?ciaries of this
UniRef project are camp and urban refugees many of whom have been living
in hardship for quite some time.
For this initiative to see the
dawn, its application in the Emirati-Jordanian camp needed the
cooperation of various parties both international and domestic, starting
with UniRef, and extending to the Jordan Red Crescent and Isra
University with major funding provided by the Emirati trade conglomerate
: Al Badie Group.
The contribution of Al Badie Group to such a humanitarian project is attributed to the group’s COO Dr. Yaseen AlKamas
who played the key role in liaising between the Geneva-based UniRef and
the group’s management, a role praised by the founders of UniRef, Mrs.
Yvelyne and Mr. Bryan R. Wood, who commented: “We also would like to
express a special thanks to Dr. Yaseen AlKamas,
who is involved personally in the UniRef mission…” and continued to
say: “..whose humanist values are still demonstrated today by his
commitment to the UniRef mission”.
