Amman, June 7 (Petra) — The National Aid Fund (NAF) on Sunday
launched an industrial garment design and sewing program in the
Muwaqqar district, aiming to enhance the economic empowerment of
beneficiary families and facilitate their integration into the labor
market.

The program, titled “Pattern Techniques and Industrial Sewing,” was
introduced in cooperation with the Garment Design and Training
Services Center at the Queen Rania Al Abdullah Center for Information
Technology and Community Service. It targets 40 women from families
currently receiving NAF assistance.

NAF Director General Khitam Shneikat said the initiative aligns with
the fund’s strategy to economically empower beneficiary households
and foster self-reliance by delivering specialized training programs
tailored to productive economic sectors.

Shneikat emphasized that the NAF prioritizes economic empowerment
programs as a core pillar of sustainable social protection.

Hassan Al-Nsour, Chief Executive Officer of the Garment Design and
Training Services Center, said the program underscores the importance
of strategic partnerships between specialized training facilities and
national entities focused on economic development.

Ehab Al-Qaderi, a representative of the leather and garments sector
at the Jordan Chamber of Industry, praised the implementation of
training initiatives that directly address the technical requirements
of the industrial workforce.

The launch is part of a broader series of initiatives by the NAF to
improve the skills and employability of its beneficiaries, boosting
household productivity and supporting sustainable development
objectives across the kingdom’s various regions.
