“Amer was unable to hear what was taught during school classes. He also couldn’t speak like other children his age. His teacher told us to fix the problem before he loses his chance of an education altogether,” says his father, Qasim.
Islamic Relief works with Syrian refugees in northern Jordan to provide children with vital healthcare. Children receive life-saving surgery, health awareness sessions, and medical equipment. One of 54 children to whom we gave hearing aids this year, Amer is now flourishing.
“Alhamdulillah, after his hearing aid was fitted, the worst scenario didn’t happen. Amer now talks to us and is able to respond quickly. He is doing very well at school and that’s great.”
Islamic Relief mobile health teams operate throughout the country, providing primary healthcare to vulnerable Jordanians as well as refugees.
