Young people from Zarqa who chose to stand by others.
Qaf Community Development is a conscious, youth-led development organisation that aims to be the first destination for active young people who take initiative. It draws on our cultural heritage and national community values as the foundation for its ideas and community work. It raises youth and human awareness, moves beyond stereotyped thinking, and offers a development model that connects people to their community and respects its moral values.
The association contributes to national and community efforts by empowering young people, developing their abilities and skills, and building a culture of volunteering, while supporting orphans, families in need and those with the fewest opportunities, and launching quality programs in partnership with community organisations.
