represents a contribution by Amman’s business community to
sustainable charitable programs and underscores the importance of

interests of the commercial and services sectors, describing support
for vulnerable families as both a national and humanitarian
obligation that helps strengthen social cohesion and stability.

Balkar praised the chamber’s continued support for Tkiyet Um Ali’s
programs, emphasizing the importance of partnerships with private
sector institutions in expanding assistance to beneficiaries and
ensuring the sustainability of initiatives aimed at combating hunger
and food insecurity.

He said the memorandum will help provide sponsored families with
their basic food needs for a full year through monthly food parcels
prepared and distributed in accordance with Tkiyet Um Ali’s health
and food safety standards.

Under the agreement, Tkiyet Um Ali will procure, prepare and
distribute the monthly food parcels to beneficiary families through
its established mechanisms, ensuring the continuity of food
assistance.

The memorandum builds on the longstanding cooperation between the
Amman Chamber of Commerce and Tkiyet Um Ali and reinforces their
joint efforts to enhance food security and reach vulnerable families
across the Kingdom.
