Amman, Aug. 23 (Petra) — Attarat Power Company (APCO) on Sunday
launched an initiative by distributing school bags and stationery to
all first-grade students in the Umm Ar-Rasas district in Amman
governorate, in coordination with the Um Umm Ar-Rasas municipality.

The “Small Steps, Big Dreams” campaign aims to ease financial
pressure on families ahead of the new academic year and help children
begin their education with confidence, APCO said in a statement.

Nour Ma’aitah, the company’s public relations chief, said education
forms the foundation for a bright future for children and the
community.

She highlighted APCO’s commitment to suporting children at the start
of their academic journey and fostering an environment that
encourages learning and ambition.

As for its policy, Ma’aitah said APCO continues to carry out
community initiatives to address the “true” needs of residents near
its project site, underscoring the company’s commitment to expanding
its development role across Jordan’s governorates.

The campaign reflects a partnership model between the Kingdom’s
private sector and local institutions to support education and
empower children, whom the company described as “central to building
a more prosperous and sustainable society.”

Based on official figures, APCO represents Jordan’s largest foreign
direct investment, valued at $2.1 billion. The project comprises two
power-generation units with a combined net capacity of 470 megawatts
, 235 megawatts each, along with integrated mining operations.

It is the first project in Jordan to use the country’s abundant local
oil shale resources, reducing reliance on imported gas and
strengthening national energy security.
