Jordan Ahli Bank and Amal Wings Association have announced their support for a solar energy project and handicrafts workshops in Dibbin Forest Reserve. The project is one of the most important development projects managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) and aims to improve and develop the handicrafts workshop in the reserve.
The support provided aims to develop the solar energy system to reach a zero-electricity bill, in addition to providing new equipment that increases work productivity, which will be reflected in the operating costs of the workshop and create job opportunities for women in the local community in the region.
The solar energy system will generate 60% of the load for the reserve’s handicrafts workshop, achieving financial savings with a payback period of 24 months. It will also help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the environment, and the new equipment will reduce the manual workload on the women in the workshop and increase productivity.
Dr. Ahmad Al-Hussein, CEO/General Manager of Jordan Ahli Bank, expressed his pride in cooperating with the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature and wings of hope society to support the solar energy project and develop the handicrafts workshop in Dibbin Forest Reserve. He stated that this project reflects the bank’s firm commitment to promoting sustainable development by integrating economic, social, and environmental elements. He added that they are confident that this initiative will contribute to promoting job opportunities and improving the standard of living in the region using solar energy. He also stated that supporting sustainable projects is an integral part of their vision to build a better and more sustainable future for the communities they serve.
The Director General of the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, Mr. Fadi Nasser, said, “We are proud of the cooperation with Jordan Ahli Bank and the Wings of Hope society in supporting the solar energy project and the handicraft workshops in Dibbin Forest Reserve. This cooperation reflects our commitment to promoting sustainable development and creating job opportunities for local communities.
Al-Nasr added, “We appreciate the efforts aimed at protecting the environment and promoting its sustainability, and we look forward to more effective partnerships to achieve our environmental and social goals.”
