“Ms. Sabha has gone on to create four new job opportunities, empowering more women in her area,” the Queen explained.
Her Majesty was received at Shobak Castle by Ma’an Governor Dr. Mohammad Fayez, Ma’an Tourism Director Dr. Yasin Salah, Head of the Al Shobak Societies Coalition Khalil Hawartha, and Visitors Center Supervisor Mohammad Hleilat.
During the meeting, she heard from Community Centers Association (CCA) President Dr. Firyal Saleh, who briefed Her Majesty on the progress of the scheme’s income-generating projects.
Implemented by the CCA in coordination with 11 local societies, the scheme has provided loans and business guidance to 220 families in Ma’an to date, supporting commercial, service industry, vocational, and agricultural projects in the governorate.
In turn, Queen Rania highlighted the pivotal role of local societies and associations, as they are best suited to meet the needs of challenges of their communities.
“We look to you to learn how to best direct our assistance,” Her Majesty said, adding that “our role is to support you, because, at the end of the day, we’re all one family and we want every woman, man, and child in the community to be well.”
