Collateral Repair Podcast Out Now!
We are proud to launch our brand new podcast this summer! Collateral Repair Podcast aims to share stories of refugees from different backgrounds living in Amman. Each month, we invite you into an intimate space that will allow you to hear and understand our beneficiaries’ experiences in their own words.
Our first episode centers around education, a critical and complex factor in refugee children’s lives after displacement. You will hear from Suleiman, an Iraqi teen who took a singularly unique education path, and Karam Hayef, CRP’s Education Specialist.
