The second phase of the HEYA project, which supports Jordanian and Syrian women in turning home-based projects into scalable businesses, has concluded in Tafila, Jordan.
The initiative is being implemented by the Tafila Heritage Charitable Association and the Multiple Sclerosis Charitable Association, with funding from the European Union. It runs from 2025 to 2027 and focuses on women’s economic empowerment, entrepreneurship and the development of sustainable businesses.
According to the Tafila Heritage Charitable Association, the training combined entrepreneurial and technical skills with practical tools to help participants strengthen their projects and improve access to markets.
Project stages include advanced entrepreneurship training, technical support, selection of promising ventures, management of startup grants and market access support. The initiative also aims to build the capacity of civil society organisations and business-support institutions, while connecting them with women entrepreneurs.
The participating organisations said the programme is designed to help women turn ideas into productive ventures, improve their income opportunities and contribute to local economic development. It also seeks to strengthen the local support system for women-led innovation and entrepreneurship.
