Swiss ambassador tours Barakah project
The article highlighted the visit of Swiss Ambassador to Jordan, Emilia Georgieva, to the "Burka" project at the Waleha Agricultural Station in Madaba Governorate. The project aims to enhance agricultural resilience and empower small farmers, particularly women and youth, through training in sustainable agriculture, hydroponics, dairy production, and food processing. Since its launch in February, it has attracted over 600 applicants, with 80 selected based on criteria related to economic vulnerability. The project has also created employment opportunities for seven beneficiaries, and two women have launched their own cheese production ventures. The Swiss organization believes that the project promotes water-saving techniques, such as hydroponics, helps adapt to climate change challenges, and adds value to local products through food manufacturing spaces and new market opportunities, thereby supporting sustainable livelihoods for the local community.
