AMMAN — Her Majesty Queen Rania visited the Women of Al Balqa’s Himmeh Charity Association on Wednesday, where she learned about its economic empowerment programmes for women in the area.

Her Majesty met with the association’s president, Hanan Odeh, and its board members, who briefed the Queen on the association’s mission and future plans, according to a statement from Her Majesty’s office.

She also toured the facilities, stopping at the association’s sewing workshop to meet with a number of employees and beneficiaries.

Established in 2010, the association strives to build local women’s capacities, provide them with work opportunities, and help them market their products locally and abroad. It also provides financial assistance to families in need, the statement said.
