Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah paid a visit to Ghor Al Safi in Al Karak Governorate on Wednesday February 22nd, where she met with the board of directors of the Ghor Al Safi Women's Association for Social Development and a number of its beneficiaries.

At the meeting, the president of the association, Nayfeh Al Nawasra, and the president of the Community Centers Associations, Firyal Saleh, briefed Her Majesty on the organization's accomplishments, plans, and numerous projects, including one of its primary initiatives, Safi Crafts.

Safi Crafts, which began in 1999, is an embroidery and fabric-dyeing enterprise that attempts to produce clothing produced from locally obtained fabrics and natural dyes that resemble designs inspired by the region's rich tradition.

Safi Crafts began farming indigo without the use of chemicals and pesticides in 2013, with cooperation from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the Swiss organization, the Drosos Foundation. Safi Crafts also started scouring the country for species from which to extract natural colours. In addition to fabric dyeing, Safi Crafts provides its beneficiaries with opportunities to learn bookkeeping, marketing, and English.

The Queen visited the association and viewed the cloth dyeing and drawing processes before stopping by a sewing workshop. Her Majesty also met with other recipients, who told her about their experiences and involvement with the organization, emphasizing the great influence it has had on their lives.

Basma Al Khanazra, one of the beneficiaries Her Majesty met, used the association's revolving fund to create a home-based business selling garments and household equipment. Al Khanazra's company grew over time to include homemade culinary items like as pickles, jams, and sundried tomatoes, and she began spending her income in developing her husband's property. Her Majesty also spoke with Nzeileh Al Oushoush, another revolving fund loan recipient who began her own home-based dairy venture.
