Collateral Repair Project

Collateral Repair Project (CRP) is a grassroots effort in Amman, Jordan to bring much-needed assistance to vulnerable communities since 2006. We seek to assist those in need, foster social cohesion, and help in building peace and reconciliation. Our services are provided regardless of background, and we currently provide assistance to people from many nationalities (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia).

CRP seeks to restore dignity and community among these displaced populations and to ensure that their basic food and housing needs are met. We provide emergency assistance to hundreds of families through in-kind aid, information and referral services, and a monthly food voucher program that provides eligible households with coupons to purchase fresh produce and groceries. CRP’s Family Resource and Community Center offers many activities and learning opportunities to allow refugees to begin to rebuild the communities they lost after fleeing their home countries.

CRP’s strengths include over 10 years of experience and knowledge about the refugee community in East Amman and strong relationships with the beneficiaries we serve. Our community center is a place where many refugees, largely prohibited by Jordanian law from working, spend their days. As a result, CRP has cultivated strong grassroots support from beneficiaries, many of whom go on to become volunteers and aid others to access programs and services.
