We Create the Future

Many refugee children in Jordan cannot read. They go to school, but benefit little from the lessons. There are numerous reasons for this: overburdened teachers, overcrowded classes, outdated teaching methods and materials, missed school years in Syria, and trauma-related hindrances. In addition, the COVID-19 Crisis pushed Jordan's already overburdened school system further beyond its limits. Our education initiative is bridging the gaps that prevent children from their education. The creative practical lessons open the door to their hearts and minds!

Our Project

The idea behind "Learn2Live" is that underprivileged children are taught in mixed-age small groups by unemployed mothers and fathers of Jordanian or Syrian origin at their homes. In addition to studying reading, writing and mathematics, girls and boys benefit from trauma processing, the promotion of social skills and personal development support. Several times a year, all of the children participating in learning groups are invited to a project week, which focuses on fun and games, sports, music, art and practical skills in topics such as hygiene, first aid and health.

“The goal is to strengthen the children’s personal and social skills in a playful, creative way.”

Arab-UP

Arabic Education for Young Students

"Arab-Up" offers Syrian and Jordanian children Arabic lessons. The offer is aimed at 1st and 2nd grade children, who are taught Arabic in small groups (up to 12 children) by unemployed mothers and fathers. They teach them three times a week in addition to their normal school lessons. The lessons take place in the respective homes of the tutors. The teaching material is provided and introduced by NOIVA staff and experienced Learn2Live learning coaches. The tutors are compensated by NOIVA for their work.

“The goal is to strengthen children’s personal and social skills in a fun, creative way.”

How It Works

Your Contribution

The project is entirely supported by donations. Your support makes a huge difference for these children. You will support much needed tutoring so that the children do not miss out on Arabic reading and writing skills, as well as supporting work opportunities for unemployed mothers and fathers.
