Princess Taghrid Institute

The Princess Taghrid Institute for Development And Training (PTI) was established to enable, rehabilitate and empower orphaned and abandoned girls after the age of 18. When integrated into the local community it was found that our girls were discriminated against, labeled, and rejected. This lead PTI to launch a program aimed at providing full care for orphans between the age of 18-24 to include social, psychological and academic support to help integrate them into the society. This program is called the “After Care” program and it was launched by the instructions and support of His Majesty King Abdallah the second in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development and it is the first of its kind in the region. His Majesty fully sponsored a building fully equipped with fully furnished apartments, a centre for psychological support and halls for various other services provided by the program. In addition to supporting the girls the program focuses on changing the community view of the girls through carrying out various awareness campaigns and collaborating with the private sector to urge the community to accept and support these girls in order to ensure security, stability and a decent living for them.
