We believe that our collaboration with Tkiyet Um Ali supports its admirable endeavors in providing aid and relief to Jordanian families. Moreover, it aligns seamlessly with one of our core corporate aspirations of supporting the local community.”

On the other hand, the Director General of Tkiyet Um Ali, Samer Balkar added, “Tkiyet Um Ali is always looking for ways to expand its programs’ reach in supporting families living in extreme poverty across the Kingdom. Thanks to Aqaba Container Terminal’s longstanding cooperation and our partners, we have been able to make great strides towards our vision of a hunger-free Jordan.”
