About Jordan

Jordan has a low HIV-prevalence rate, and the government is working with civil society groups to ensure that that remains the case. Education aimed at youths is one of the significant ways of stopping new infections.

 

MCC Supports:

Caritas Jordan

While Jordan has a low HIV prevalence rate, the risk of a rise in HIV infections in the region is a reality. Through a partnership with Caritas Jordan, a Catholic organization that operates nationally, MCC provides important AIDS information to youths through a school-based education program. Goals for 2009 include training 80 students as peer educators, 60 people as HIV/AIDS educators, and 5 Caritas project participants with an average of 60 people from each project.

If contributions to a project exceed the amount needed, MCC will use the donations to support similar projects.
