Japan Funds UNICEF Water Support for Syrian Refugees in Jordan
(MENAFN) According to reports, Japan has provided around $250,000 to support UNICEF efforts aimed at maintaining essential water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services for Syrian refugees in Jordan.
The initiative is designed to run from 2026 to 2027 and focuses on ensuring uninterrupted access to safe drinking water for families living in the Za’atari Refugee Camp. The program comes amid rising seasonal demand and ongoing shifts in population within the camp.
Beyond immediate water access, the project also includes vocational and technical training for 50 Syrian refugees, particularly in fields such as plumbing and environmental health. These skills are intended to strengthen community resilience and improve future employment prospects, including potential opportunities after return to Syria.
According to reports, a UNICEF representative in Jordan stressed that safe water and sanitation remain fundamental for safeguarding the health and wellbeing of children and families, expressing appreciation for continued international support directed toward vulnerable populations in the country.
The Japanese ambassador to Jordan highlighted Japan’s recognition of Jordan’s role in hosting a large refugee population and noted continued cooperation with humanitarian partners to ensure that basic services remain accessible in refugee settings while preserving dignity and health.
Japan has maintained long-term cooperation with UNICEF both globally and within Jordan, focusing on improving living conditions for children and displaced families affected by conflict and instability.
The funding is expected to help meet essential operational needs and support roughly 49,000 refugees residing in the camp, ensuring continued access to safe water and basic services.
According to reports, UNICEF continues to coordinate with Jordanian authorities and other partners to provide sustainable and equitable services not only for refugees but also for vulnerable host communities across the country.
