Haroon and Maryam's Marathon For Jordan

Amman Marathon · 4 October 2024 ·
We are taking on the Amman Marathon to support Islamic Relief projects in Jordan, mainly providing medical supplies. We are inspired by our son, Yahya, who has received amazing medical care in the UK. We are raising money to help Islamic Relief provide similar care to those families in need.
Jordan is the 6th biggest refugee-hosting country in the world. With a refugee population of over two million, primarily from Palestine, Syria and Iraq, Jordan is a major host of families fleeing violence and conflict.For just under a quarter of the refugees living in camps across Jordan, conditions are extremely poor. Little or no access to water and electricity increases the risk of disease and vermin infestations, jeopardising people’s health, safety and their lives
.Islamic Relief began its work in Jordan in 1997, to support the largest Palestinian camp in the country and in 2011 when the Syrian crisis first escalated, Islamic Relief was among the first to respond.
