Al Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans: 2025 — A Year of Accomplishment and Empowerment, Creating Lasting Impact through Strategic Partnerships

Al Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans concluded 2025 with a series of milestone achievements that reflect its long-standing vision since its establishment in 2006: supporting and empowering orphaned youth over the age of 18 as they pursue education, stability, and self-reliance. The year was marked by a strong integration between giving, empowerment, and sustainable impact.

A defining moment of 2025 was the launch of the Fund’s Ramadan campaign, “Seen Min Al Nas”, which centered on the concept of quiet giving, rooted in the belief that true generosity is offered without expectation of recognition. As part of the campaign, the Fund collaborated with Jama‘at Khair to produce the campaign’s theme song, featuring orphaned youth supported by the Fund, capturing the values of dignity, solidarity, and empowerment through an authentic human lens.

The campaign achieved wide digital reach, exceeding four million views during the holy month of Ramadan. More importantly, it directly contributed to covering the second semester tuition fees for 762 orphaned youth, in addition to supporting monthly living and housing expenses for Fund beneficiaries who had graduated from care homes. During Ramadan, the Fund also organized a special charity evening in collaboration with Al Aman Ambassadors, partners who had supported the End-of-Year 2024 campaign, bringing together art and culinary experiences in one impactful event aimed at supporting education costs for beneficiaries.

In the third quarter of the year, 115 new orphaned youth joined the Aman family from care homes and various governorates across the Kingdom. United under the slogan “You are my support… stay with me as I continue the journey.”, their participation reflected a genuine partnership between the Fund and the community in shaping safer and more sustainable futures.

Beyond educational support, the Fund continued to strengthen empowerment through the launch of the SIDE Competency Framework, a comprehensive training model comprising 75 competencies across social, personal, digital, and economic domains. Since its launch, 49 orphaned youthfrom across the Kingdom have benefited from the program, achieving an 82% improvement in overall readiness.

Throughout the year, intensive training programs covered key topics including artificial intelligence tools, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, professional CV writing, interview preparation, emotional intelligence, and resilience, equipping participants with the skills needed to transition confidently into the labor market and build independent futures.

Innovation and hands-on learning also remained a priority. In collaboration with partners, the Fund delivered specialized game development programs, engaging 12 orphaned youth, 90% of whom successfully designed their first game. In the field of entrepreneurship, 41 participants took part in targeted workshops, with 76% successfully developing initial business ideas and plans.

On the community engagement front, the Fund continued to implement innovative initiatives such as “The Empty Chair” and “Snowball,” reinforcing the message that giving is not limited by age or background. Over 140 student volunteers from nine schools contributed to supporting the education of 11 beneficiaries.

In a national achievement reflecting its commitment to volunteerism, Al Aman Fund was awarded second place in the third edition of the King Hussein bin Abdullah II Award for Voluntary Services, under the category “Best Volunteer Project by a Non-Profit Organization,” for its “Empty Chair” initiative. The award was received by the Fund’s GM , Eng. Noor Homoud, during a ceremony held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II.

Recognizing the fast pace of daily life and the challenge of sustaining regular donations, the Fund introduced the “Hours of Education” program, an innovative monthly payroll-giving model enabling employees to support education through simple, recurring contributions that cover the cost of a study hour, course, semester, or academic year. The program saw participation from 13 companies and nearly 700 employees, directly supporting 10 beneficiaries and reinforcing the role of corporate partners in fostering sustainable giving.

The Fund also expanded its outreach in Aqaba through awareness sessions with community leaders and stakeholders, highlighting its mission and exploring cross-sector collaboration. This engagement culminated in the launch of a youth training and qualification program in Aqaba, in partnership with the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority and Aqaba Development Company, scheduled for rollout in the first quarter of 2026, creating real pathways to sustainable employment.

One of the year’s most meaningful moments was a meeting between beneficiaries of Al Aman Fund and Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah in Ma’an, where Her Majesty learned about their educational journeys and aspirations. During the meeting, CEO Eng. Noor Homoud highlighted that since the Fund’s establishment, 279 orphaned youthin Ma’an have benefited, 196 of whom have successfully completed their education, with continued efforts to expand support across all governorates.

The year concluded with the Fund’s second graduation dinner, celebrating the graduation of 160 orphaned youth who completed their educational journeys with sustained support from the Fund and its partners. The evening marked a proud transition from support to empowerment, announcing that 22% of graduates entered the labor market directly, while 5% pursued postgraduate studies. Outstanding graduates were also recognized for excellence in academic, athletic, artistic, and community initiatives, affirming that the Fund’s support extends beyond graduation to celebrating achievement and inspiring broader impact.

Established in 2006 as a non-profit initiative launched by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, Al Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans supports orphaned youth after the age of 18 in continuing their education through universities, colleges, and vocational training centers. The Fund provides integrated financial, living, and psychosocial support, alongside its SIDE development program. Since its establishment, the Fund has supported more than 5,000 beneficiaries across the Kingdom, with women representing 66% of total beneficiaries. To date, 3,712 graduates have completed their education, 78% of whom have secured at least one job, while the Fund currently supports 611 students on their educational paths.
