Rainia Al Abdoullah
Her Majesty Queen
Rania Al Abdullah
Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah
is a mother, a wife, a boss, an advocate,
and a humanitarian.
She once said, "I just wake up and feel
like a regular person. At the end of
the day you are living your life for the
people that you represent. It's an honour
and a privilege to have that chance
to make a difference – a qualitative
difference in people's lives – and it's my
responsibility to make the most out of
that opportunity."
For that reason, Queen Rania spends
much of her time listening to and talking
with the people of Jordan, to learn from
them the best way to improve their
livelihoods and Jordan's prospects.

For over a decade, the Jordan River Foundation (JRF)
has strived to bring relief, security, and opportunity to
those Jordanians who need it most. JRF is governed by
a Board of Trustees that is chaired by Her Majesty Queen
Rania Al Abdullah. In the beginning, JRF partnered with
disadvantaged families to provide them with skills and
knowledge to raise their income, and with it their selfesteem and self-confidence.
Now JRF believes in a sustainable, holistic approach,
investing in communities, focusing on the needs of
whole villages, and inspiring locals to take on the mantel
of civil society themselves and work towards their own
development.
