Sofia, Mahdiya and Rumana will be taking on the Amman (Half) Marathon to support Islamic Relief projects in Jordan.

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 is supporting refugee families in Jordan to help them face the future with greater stability.

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.

Islamic Relief has provided vital aid over the years, donate to our page now and continue to support their lifesaving work.
