New partnership strengthens aid in the Middle East
New partnership strengthens aid in the Middle East
Swiss Barakah Charity has already been working successfully with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) for some time. In March 2025, they jointly delivered 10 trucks with urgently needed relief supplies to Gaza: Swiss Barakah Charity provided the aid goods, while JHCO ensured safe access to the hard-to-reach area. The partnership has now been officially consolidated for future joint projects – a step that strengthens and professionalizes our humanitarian work in the Middle East.
JHCO is a state-recognized aid organization based in Amman, Jordan. Founded in 1990, it coordinates humanitarian missions at home and abroad on behalf of the Jordanian government. Thanks to its long-standing experience and extensive local network, JHCO is a key player in regional emergency relief, particularly in supporting refugees from Syria, Palestine, and Iraq.
“The institutionalization of this partnership is an important step for our work,” says Mohamad Ajami, CEO of Swiss Barakah Charity. “Through cooperation with JHCO, we can make our aid even more targeted and sustainable. Local partners understand the needs on the ground best.”
The cooperation covers various areas of humanitarian aid: from supporting refugees to educational projects to emergency relief in crisis areas. Both organizations share the conviction that aid must be provided regardless of religion, origin, or political orientation.
“We are looking forward to this partnership,” said a JHCO spokesperson. “Swiss Barakah Charity brings not only financial resources, but also a fresh perspective and innovative approaches to humanitarian work.”
