INJAZ was established in 1999, as a project under Save the Children, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and by Jordanian Queen Rania al Abdullah.[2] Despite some opposition, particularly in Ma'an, the project relaunched in 2001 as an independent nonprofit led by Soraya Salti.[3] By the 2010–2011 school year, over 100,000 students in Jordan had become members.[4]
INJAZ focuses on giving young people vocational training and entrepreneurship skills.[5][6] Jordan's business and professional community contributes funds,[7] as well as volunteer teachers and leaders.[8]
Locations
INJAZ is headquartered in Amman, Jordan, with field offices in Irbid, Zarqa, Al Karak, Wadi Musa, Tafilah and Aqaba.[9]
