Chairperson of the Board & General Assembly

The year 2023 was marked by unprecedented events, crises and challenges. It was also a year that showcased exceptional acts of solidarity in response to these challenges. Within the framework of these efforts, Tkiyet Um Ali demonstrated an exceptional level of efficiency and agility in its operations and initiatives, swiftly responding with the mobilisation of resources and provision of emergency food parcels and humanitarian assistance to those in dire need.

Tkiyet Um Ali was at the forefront of the response to crises emerging from natural disasters in Syria and Turkey, as well as the war in Gaza, which have resulted in widespread malnutrition and displacement, with countless families forced to flee their homes. Tkiyet Um Ali organised and dispatched a number of food convoys to support the affected families, providing some stability and hope to those in crisis.

Throughout these turbulent times, our dedication to our core mission to combat hunger in Jordan remained firm. Over the past year, Tkiyet Um Ali successfully delivered 232,097 food parcels to families in need, ensuring that thousands had access to essential food supplies. Additionally, Tkiyet Um Ali served 146,330 hot lunches and Iftar meals to wayfarers, and we continued with our tradition of performing Udhiyah on behalf of our generous donors, distributing the meat to endorsed families in Jordan and to those in need in Palestine.

There is no doubt that these accomplishments would not have been possible without the steadfast support of our Board of Directors and the immense generosity of our donors. Volunteers continue to be at the heart of the work we do, which is undertaken with humility and dedication. It is with these humanitarian values, strong partnerships, and the continued support of our partners that Tkiyet Um Ali remains well positioned to serve the community well into the future, and I have always believed that our staff are the backbone of our organisation, and their tireless efforts, dedication and commitment through these tough times deserve our appreciation.

Together, we have the power to change the narrative, one meal at a time.
