Manara (Lighthouse) International is based in Amman, Jordan. They find themselves in a strategic place, a place of refuge for many displaced people from around the Middle East. They have a particular focus on refugees who make up almost one third of Jordan's population. Refugees have come in the past from Palestine, Kuwait, Egypt and Iraq and most recently people fleeing the turmoil in Syria have sought refuge in Jordan. Manara works to assist them with counselling, friendship, food, clothing and other basic essentials.

There are many disabled people in the Arab communities both in Jordan and on the West Bank in Israel. They are largely uncared for as the families are poor and have little or no idea what to do with them. This partnership gives respite care to the families and training to equip them to care better for their children.

For many years Manara International has been attempting to assist Iraqi refugees. Much of it has revolved around helping them with food, shelter and encouragement. This project is about empowering the women, teaching them sewing and embroidery skills, which will help them in both the short and long term, wherever they end up.
