ABOUT KHOYOOT INITIATIVE

Jordan is home to the largest population of Palestinian refugees in the region. Khoyoot Initiative is dedicated to enhancing economic empowerment for women in refugee camps in Jordan, preserving culture, and fostering societal participation.

Khoyoot Initiative concentrates on forming partnerships with women in the Baqa’a Refugee Camp, providing training in embroidery and tailoring. Guiding them through the entire process, from product creation to global sales, with each product line addressing significant issues in the camp such as poverty, early marriage, and education. Khoyoot’s mission is to enhance economic empowerment for women, improve their well-being by enabling work within the camp, delay marriage age, and support women economically, socially, and culturally. Additionally, Khoyoot aims to foster dialogue among children from diverse backgrounds, creating an environment of tolerance, acceptance, and cohabitation in sustainable livelihoods.

The initiative's primary focus is on women and homebound girls who are often forced to leave school by the age of 12 and married off as early as 15. High divorce rates among young girls are attributed to the burden of responsibilities they are not prepared for.

The women who finish the training course have the opportunity to join the Khoyoot team, and are assigned monthly embroidery tasks. Payment is provided upon completion of each piece, allowing them to work comfortably from their homes.
