On Wednesday October 20th, Her Majesty Queen Rania launched the 24th edition of Jordan River Designs Handicrafts Exhibition, where she was presented with a collection of items handcrafted by women from local communities.

Her Majesty viewed the exhibition with Jordan River Foundation (JRF) Director General Enaam Barrishi, admiring this year's assortment of wall hangings, coffee tables, pillows, baskets, carpets, candles, and fashion accessories.

During the trip, the Queen met with a number of the foundation's partners and contributors, including her mother thanking them for their support and emphasizing that the sale of local women's handicraft has a substantial influence on their lives and capacity to support their families.

Her Majesty also spoke with a group of female craftsmen about their experiences with JRF's social and economic empowerment projects. In turn, Queen Rania praised the women for their exceptional efforts in designing and handcrafting each item on exhibit.

The 2021 exhibition, titled "The Jordan You Love, Handmade," is shown in the JRF store in Abdoun and honors Jordanian folklore and the country's nomadic and rural traditions.

 This year, JRF's social business initiatives, which include Jordan River Designs, Bani Hamidah Designs, Al Karma Embroidery, and Wadi Al Rayan Designs, have empowered over 520 women with entrepreneurial training and job possibilities.
