In a focused effort to support vulnerable communities, the Fund has also provided solar heaters to approximately 5,000 impoverished and chaste families. Through a 100 percent grant, 1,265 solar heaters were installed at a total cost of JD770,000. This initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
