Amman, July 12 (Petra) – The Ministry of Water and Irrigation/Water
Authority launched a third plumbing training program for women with
disabilities in Balqa Governorate, aimed at equipping participants
with practical skills in household plumbing, water leak detection,
and basic maintenance.

The training, held at Al-Amal School for the Deaf, targets women with
disabilities, including deaf women and women with speech
disabilities, as part of efforts to promote inclusion and expand
access to life and vocational skills.

The program is implemented under the Water Wise Women project,
jointly funded by the World Bank and the French Development Agency
(AFD), and carried out by Future Pioneers and the Skillfull Hands
Association, the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.

The ministry said the training supports water awareness and
rationalizes household and community water consumption, reflecting
its commitment to enabling all segments of society to acquire
practical skills.

It added that the program is part of broader efforts to engage women
in supporting the sustainable management of water resources and
strengthening their role in promoting sound water-conservation
practices, particularly amid Jordan’s water challenges.

The training includes specialized theoretical and practical modules
designed to build participants’ capacities and provide them with
skills they can use in daily life. It also opens new opportunities
for economic and community participation and promotes equal access to
learning and capacity building for people with disabilities.
