A Japanese Grant of US$660, 663 for the Project for Promoting Inclusive Education and Strengthening the Support System for KG and Primary Education for Vulnerable Groups in Amman
2025/3/9
The Government of Japan has decided to extend a grant of six hundred and sixty thousand and six hundred and sixty-three US dollars (US $660,663) to World Vision Japan (WVJ), a Japanese Non-Governmental Organization, to support the establishment of an inclusive education environment for vulnerable groups in Amman.
The grant contract was signed on March 9th, 2025, between Mr. ASARI Hideki, Ambassador of Japan to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Ms. IKENOYA Rie, Project Manager of World Vision Japan deployed to World Vision’s office in Jordan.
The grant assistance will support the creation of an inclusive learning environment where all children, with or without disabilities and regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds, can receive learning support tailored to their diverse needs and continue their education.
Based in Amman, the project will focus on early identification of disabilities and early intervention in four targeted kindergartens, while also strengthening the capacity of education personnel and caregivers to support these children. It will enhance the capacity of teachers to provide inclusive education in seven primary schools and ensure the provision of barrier-free facilities and inclusive teaching materials. Additionally, the project will work to strengthen community support for inclusive education, fostering a more supportive and accessible learning environment. Leveraging the organization’s extensive experience in this field, the project is expected to contribute to reducing social inequalities and empowering vulnerable children in Jordan.
World Vision Japan in collaboration with World Vision Syria Response Office, has been supporting education in public schools in Jordan since 2014. The Government of Japan has previously extended a grant to WVJ from 2022 to 2025 to support the implementation of the Project for Strengthening the Support System for Primary and Secondary Education Enrolment and Learning for Vulnerable Groups in Irbid, with total grant of 2,203,341 US dollars. Building on the knowledge and experience gained through this initiative, the new project aims to take a more comprehensive approach to addressing the needs of vulnerable children while reinforcing a long-term education support system in partnership with local governments and organizations.
