alwakaai news : As part of its corporate social responsibility and ongoing commitment to supporting local communities, underprivileged groups, and the education sector, Zain Jordan announced the renewal of its strategic partnership with LOYAC Foundation through the 'Homes” program. The initiative aims to renovate and rehabilitate several schools and public facilities across various governorates in the Kingdom.

Under this partnership, Zain supported the renovation project of Um Al-Yanabee Mixed Elementary School in Ajloun Governorate this year, benefiting around 90 students. The project was implemented with the participation of a group of youth volunteers, offering hands-on volunteering and training experience that promotes teamwork, cultural exchange, and skills development.

The renovation work included painting the school’s eight classrooms, corridors, outdoor areas, and doors, as well as creating murals, repairing restrooms and drinking water areas, renewing electrical

installations and adding new lighting units. Openings were added above classroom doors to allow natural sunlight in, and green spaces were planted on school grounds to promote a healthier environment. General maintenance was also carried out on school furniture, fences, and other facilities.

This initiative reflects Zain’s ongoing support for the education sector in Jordan and its commitment to creating an optimal learning environment that enhances students’ academic experience and performance. It also aligns with the company’s mission to encourage youth engagement, while developing their personal and professional skills—contributing to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, which Zain integrates across all its sustainability programs and initiatives.

This partnership is a continuation of the fruitful collaboration between Zain and LOYAC, which began in 2018. Over the years, Zain has supported the rehabilitation of seven schools across multiple governorates, including: Othman Bin Affan School, Najda Boys Elementary School, Najda Mixed Elementary School in Jerash Governorate, Jil’ad Mixed Elementary School in Balqa Governorate, Afnaan Mixed Elementary School in Madaba Governorate, Al-Basiliya School in Al-Jeeza District, and Al-Qastal School Additionally, Zain supported LOYAC’s 'Your Future with Zain” internship program, launched last year, which provided 40 internship opportunities to university students and recent graduates in Jordan to help develop their practical and professional skills.
