Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans

What Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans does

Al-Aman Fund for the Future of Orphans is a Jordanian non-profit charitable organization registered with the Ministry of Social Development in 2006 as a royal initiative by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah. It is the first institution in Jordan purpose-built to serve orphaned youth after age 18 — a demographic that loses access to care-home support upon reaching adulthood — providing university scholarships, vocational training, housing, monthly allowances, health insurance, psychological counseling, and skills development across 5,054 lifetime beneficiaries (598 currently active, 3,766 graduates, 78% job placement rate).

The Fund's core programs comprise four integrated pillars: the Educational Scholarships Program (bachelor's degrees, diplomas, vocational tracks), the Living Support Program (200 JOD/month housing, 150 JOD/month allowance, 75 JOD/year health insurance, capacity-building budget), the SIDE competency framework (75 skills across personal, social, digital, and economic domains) used for beneficiary assessment and placement, and the "Step Towards Al Aman" psychological support program. Program delivery is supported by a digital infrastructure that includes an eligibility application portal (eligibility.alamanfund.jo), native iOS and Android donor-tracking applications, and integration with Jordan's major payment rails (Zain Cash, Orange Money, Dinarak, U Wallet, eFAWATEERcom, CliQ, JoMoPay, Talabat, Careem) plus bank apps, physical donation booths at six malls, and an employer payroll-deduction program ("Hours of Al Aman") ranging from 2.5 to 75 JOD/month.

The revenue model is donation- and philanthropy-based rather than commercial. Individual sponsorships are offered at two tiers — partial orphan sponsorship at 1,500 JOD/year (tuition only) and full sponsorship at 7,500 JOD/year (comprehensive package). Corporate partners are tiered (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Impact, Community) and include Housing Bank, Arab Bank, Capital Bank, Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Arab Potash, Bromine Jordan, PwC Middle East, Qatar Charity, Nova Services, and the Central Bank of Jordan, among 30+ named entities. The organization also accepts Zakat and Sadaqah under Fatwa No. 7/2010 from the Jordanian Iftaa Department and runs seasonal Ramadan Iftar and Eid gift campaigns. Administrative costs are funded separately from program donations.

Direct peers

• Tkiyet Um Ali: Leading Jordanian food-security and poverty-alleviation nonprofit. Comparable in scale, donor base, and Jordan-domestic operating model, though focused on food security rather than orphan education.
• Jordan River Foundation: Jordanian nonprofit founded under royal patronage (Queen Rania) focused on child, family, and community welfare. Highly comparable in operating model, royal affiliation, and beneficiary scope, though broader than post-18 orphan transition.
• SOS Children's Villages Jordan: International NGO operating orphan-care programs in Jordan including alternative care and youth transition support. Directly comparable in beneficiary population (orphaned youth) and transition-to-independence mission.
• INJAZ Jordan: Jordanian nonprofit delivering workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy programs to youth. Comparable on the skills-development and youth-employment outcomes side, though serving a broader age range.
• Al-Awn for Orphan Care: Arab-region orphan-care charitable organization providing sponsorship and educational support. Directly comparable in orphan-sponsorship and education mission across MENA.

Regional players

• Qatar Charity: Major Gulf-based charity operating orphan-sponsorship and education programs across MENA (and an active Al-Aman partner). Comparable in sponsoring orphaned-youth education but operates regionally rather than domestically.
• King Hussein Cancer Foundation: Jordanian nonprofit under royal patronage focused on cancer care and awareness. Comparable in royal-affiliation model and large-scale Jordanian fundraising infrastructure, though serving a different beneficiary group.
• Royal Health Awareness Society: Jordanian nonprofit under royal patronage focused on health awareness and youth wellbeing. Comparable in operating structure and Jordan-domestic focus, though oriented toward health rather than education.

Broad incumbents

• UNICEF Jordan: UN agency delivering child welfare, education, and youth-protection programs in Jordan. Overlaps with Al-Aman on child welfare and youth education mandates at much greater scale and with international funding.
• Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development: Pan-Arab development institution funding education, social, and economic programs across member states. Relevant as a potential institutional funding partner for scaling the orphan-transition model regionally.
