Ammon News - Blumont, an international non-profit organization, announced the beginning of registration for "Jordan Livelihoods Program," which aims to register, license and develop home-based businesses that operate within the tailoring, handicrafts, food processing sectors in the governorates of Irbid, Mafraq, Ajloun, Ma'an, Karak and Balqa'.

According to a Blumont statement on Wednesday, the project works to train home-based business owners by developing and marketing their products and providing them with the necessary support, which ultimately aims to link home-based businesses with local markets and e-marketing platforms to display products, open new markets and provide in-kind support as needed.

To date, about 400 home-based projects benefited from this project during the previous years, while 262 home enterprises were registered and licensed. 216 beneficiaries were trained on on business development services, and 188 projects were linked with local markets and e-marketing platforms. Moreover, 261 in-kind support was provided to home-based businesses, the statement added.

Director of Blumont Jordan, Caroline Haddad, lauded the organization's partnership with UNHCR for the fourth year in a row, which contributed to registering and licensing 262 home-based projects.

Home-based projects have an "important" role in building the household economy, creating job opportunities and improving livelihoods for women, youth and refugees, Haddad pointed out.

Blumont advises potential beneficiaries to apply to benefit from the project through the following link: https://ee.humanitarianresponse.info/x/u0alXxUL.

Working with local communities to design and implement programs using innovative solutions in the relief, health, and development fields, Blumont started its operations in Jordan in 2003 by implementing several projects in various regions countrywide and inside the Zaatari refugee camp, in cooperation with a number of partners, donors, and local organizations.
