The
Jordan Meningitis Foundation (JMF) is an NGO which was
established in 1995 in Amman
- Jordan. JMF is the only NGO of its type
in the region. HRH Princess Alia Al-Hussein is the Honorary President
of the foundation.
How the foundation
started
The
JMF is the brainchild of the painter
Sana’ Al Masri, who lost her 17
year-old daughter “Sarab” to Meningitis. Her efforts, since then,
along with volunteers, members, doctors, professionals and others, have
been
devoted to work towards the eradication of this disease.
The
foundation has 150 members and is governed by
nine members.
After 17 years of
honest, hard work which has had a profound impact on the community
the Jordan Meningitis Foundation was awarded the 1st degree gold
medal recieved from His Majesty King Abdullah II on Jordan's 66th
Independence Day, 25/05/12.
