For the period of 2019-2024 and in line with its Country Strategy, LWF Jordan increased the protection and safety of the most vulnerable and further professionalized its protection work.

Besides, LWF also provided humanitarian support during COVID-19 and currently is responding to the victims in Syria affected by the earthquake.
