“Jodran” project aims to improve the quality of life of orphan families and provide a safe, healthy and stable living environment that suits their needs.
The project is implemented periodically in cooperation with volunteer teams from community members, including university students in addition to volunteer teams and members of the Foundation.
The maintenance work on the two homes took about two weeks, during which painting and necessary repairs were carried out according to the needs of the orphans. Work also included initial cleaning operations for the first home and getting rid of old furniture and replacing it with new furniture.
In this context, Aisha Salem, Head of the Social Research Department, confirmed that the Foundation’s interest in the livelihood of orphans is an essential part of the services provided to them. The Foundation continues to implement “Jodran” project to ensure family stability and provide a suitable environment for orphans to live in, as the house contributes to enhancing their psychological health and acts as a safe haven for widows and orphans.
Aisha Salem added that “Jodran” also helps alleviate the psychological pressures they may be exposed to as a result of losing their father. In addition, it supports their education and psychological health, which enhances their ability to focus on their studies in a calm and safe environment, and also helps them integrate socially and develop their personality, which contributes to building self-confident orphans, capable of growing and interacting positively with society.
Aisha Salem thanked the volunteer teams that cooperated with the Foundation in carrying out the necessary maintenance work for the two homes. A team of students from the American University carried out this work in the field, and the Foundation appreciates their efforts and generous support in maintaining the house and providing new furniture for the families. This ongoing commitment with them reflects the values of social solidarity and cooperation in various programmes. It also emphasises the importance of partnership in achieving the Foundation’s goals and noble humanitarian mission.
Aisha Salem expressed her appreciation for the effective role played by volunteer children who contributed to the maintenance of the orphanage. Their contribution had a significant impact in improving the family environment and their sense of satisfaction and stability. By integrating orphans into volunteer work, they acquired the values of giving, compassion, solidarity and social solidarity. This work also enhanced their mental health and increased their sense of happiness, which leads to the formation of generations aware of the importance of cooperation, and a giving society that provides good for all.
Aisha Hassan Al Raisi, Director of the Community Service and Institutional Communication Department, also expressed the importance of the American University of Sharjah’s participation in the “Jodran” project in cooperation with SSEF. She pointed out that this participation comes from a standpoint of social responsibility and motivating students to engage in volunteer work.
Al Raisi stated that the project provides students with the opportunity to make a positive change, which enables them to see their impact on themselves and on society. Al Raisi also expressed her thanks to the Foundation for this humanitarian initiative, which has become an essential part of the volunteer programmes in the University’s Community Service and Institutional Communication Department.
“Jodran” project is part of the Foundation’s plan to enhance its support for orphan families, as well as to encourage society, including individuals and entities, to contribute to improving the conditions of orphans, reflecting the values of cooperation and social solidarity.
