Amman, June 1 (Petra) — The Water Authority wrapped up its first
home plumbing training program under the Water Wise Women initiative,
targeting women from Balqa Governorate in its first phase.

The Water Ministry said Monday that the program was implemented in
partnership with the Skilled Hands Association and Future Pioneers
for Empowering Communities, with World Bank funding.

Participants received practical and theoretical training on detecting
and repairing household leaks, maintaining sanitary fixtures,
handling minor home water network faults, and reducing water waste.

Basic home maintenance skills help curb water loss from undetected or
untreated household leaks and promote shared responsibility for
protecting national water resources, said the Ministry’s Spokesperson
Omar Salameh.

He said the program equips women with practical water-related skills,
strengthens their role in conservation at home and in the community,
and supports their economic empowerment, especially through obtaining
a professional practice certificate.

The training is part of a series targeting local women, refugees, and
persons with disabilities across Jordan to help communities reduce
water loss and support sustainable water use, according to the
ministry.
