Royal Jordanian : RJ concludes its Ramadan charity campaign with more iftars for orphans and more aid distributed in different governorates

Amman, June 21, 2017 - Royal Jordanian marked the last days of the Holy Month of Ramadan by a series of charitable activities, which concluded the company's annual charity campaign.

During this month, Royal Jordanian held iftars for 550 orphans and distributed food parcels to hundreds of families in different parts of Jordan.

The last campaign activities included the distribution of foodstuff to citizens in the southern parts of the Kingdom: villages in Ma'an and Karak governorates, as well as Ajloun, Jerash and Naour.

Also during the last week of Ramadan, Royal Jordanian held two iftars for 150 orphans. Children from Jerash were invited to the first event, held in cooperation with the Haya Cultural Center, while the second iftar hosted children from Mqabalain, in Amman. The children enjoyed a variety of entertaining activities and received clothes to celebrate Eid Al-Fitr.

Royal Jordanian President/CEO Stefan Pichler said: 'It is part of our national carrier's mission to give a hand to the less privileged people and extend love to the children on whose faces we put a smile through such activities. Royal Jordanian will always perform its social role in the service of Jordanians, because we believe that the social work of companies contributes to the welfare of the community.'

Earlier in Ramadan, the airline distributed goodwill parcels to less fortunate families in the eastern desert and southern Jordan, in cooperation with the Social Development Ministry.

The company's activities contribute to making orphans' and needy families' lives easier, and this is manifested in the gratefulness they show for RJ's initiatives and support of the society throughout the year.
