Amman, Aug. 20 (Petra) — The Al Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans
has renewed its partnership with HyperMax for the second consecutive
year to support the “Return to Education” campaign, which seeks to
help orphaned youth continue their education and build more stable
and independent futures.
According to a statement issued by the fund on Thursday, the campaign
provides scholarships for higher education, along with housing
support, monthly allowances, and skills development and
capacity-building programs. It targets orphaned youth, including
graduates of care homes who have reached the age of 18, as well as
young people from various governorates whose economic circumstances
prevent them from continuing their education.
Under the partnership, HyperMax customers at branches across the
Kingdom can contribute to the campaign by adding 10 piasters or more
to their purchases at checkout. The contributions provide direct
support for orphaned youth to continue their education.
Director General of the Aman Fund Noor Al-Hamoud said renewing the
partnership for a second year reflects cooperation between the
private sector and community institutions in supporting sustainable
outcomes.
She added that supporting the education of orphaned youth is not
limited to covering tuition fees, but also provides them with an
opportunity to build their future with confidence and move toward
independence and self-reliance. She stressed the importance of
community participation in supporting the fund’s mission.
Jerome Akel, Regional Director of Majid Al Futtaim Retail – HyperMax
Jordan, said the renewed partnership builds on the cooperation
witnessed during last year’s campaign. He said allowing customers to
contribute when completing their purchases provides a direct means of
supporting higher education opportunities for orphaned youth.
The statement said contributions from HyperMax customers during last
year’s campaign helped cover education costs for 10 orphaned youth
for a full academic year, in addition to covering monthly allowances
and housing rent for two of them for a full year, enabling them to
continue their education with greater stability.
