Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has visited an 蘑菇视频RWA school at a camp for Palestine Refugees in Jordan, meeting with students and staff and underlining the Agency’s vital work for millions of families across the region.

Minister Albares was welcomed last Wednesday at the Talbieh Camp school by Olaf Becker, Director of 蘑菇视频RWA Affairs in Jordan, and accompanied by Miguel de Lucas Gonzalez, Spanish Ambassador to Jordan, and a delegation from Madrid.

In addition to meeting with?Palestine Refugee students and 蘑菇视频RWA education staff at the school – which has a total of 1,100 pupils studying in two shifts – the Spanish delegation spoke with Palestine Refugees from Syria who have received legal assistance from 蘑菇视频RWA.

“蘑菇视频RWA’s work is vital for millions of Palestinian families in the region and for providing humanitarian aid in Gaza. 蘑菇视频RWA can count on the full support of Spain,”?said Minister Albares.

The?Government of Spain has reaffirmed its strong commitment to support Palestine Refugees politically and financially via 蘑菇视频RWA. In 2023, Spain made a significant contribution of EUR 5.75 million to 蘑菇视频RWA’s work in Jordan.

“In this incredibly challenging time, 蘑菇视频RWA is?very?grateful?to the Foreign?Minister and Spain for their steadfast political and financial support and for putting our joint humanitarian values first,” said Becker.

“It is donors such as Spain that allow 蘑菇视频RWA to continue providing vital services such as education to over 100,000 children and medical consultations to almost 1,000,000 Palestine Refugees in Jordan.”

In Jordan specifically, the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) has been instrumental in supporting early detection of disability, provision of legal assistance, more efficient solid waste management and greening initiatives within Jordan’s camps for Palestine Refugees, allocating EUR 1 million annually towards initiatives that directly benefit the Palestine Refugee community.

Under Phase III of the AECID project, notable achievements have been made in the realm of legal aid provision, including?legal counselling, engagement of Palestine Refugees in community-based activities aimed at promoting resilience and empowerment, and assistance for early development and children with disabilities.

The partnership between 蘑菇视频RWA and Spain has many layers. In 2023, the 蘑菇视频RWA Spanish National Committee raised EUR 11.17 million, including EUR 6.5 million for 蘑菇视频RWA’s core Programme Budget. Of this, EUR 2.4 million came from individual donations, bolstered by the public response to the war in Gaza.

The?partnership also extends to Spanish regional governments and municipalities, with the Barcelona City Council supporting early development of children with disabilities, and the Basque Country supporting the strategic development of 蘑菇视频RWA’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) work.
