Background

Habibi VAltiberina – HAVA is an association born in 2013, recognized by AICS, the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation. HAVA promotes and fosters initiatives in all fields concerning development and human rights protection in Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon. HAVA is legally registered in Jordan since October 2018 where it works closely with refugees who fled from ISIS persecution, mainly Iraqi and Syrian, and with vulnerable Jordanians, such as women, youth and persons with disabilities. The association expertise includes vocational trainings providing participants with high quality skills to sustain their economic and social inclusion in the host community. Recently, HAVA have been supporting the establishment of productive workshops in garment production, dairy products, food and hospitality in Amman, Karak and Ajloun governatorates.
