Amman, April 21 (Petra) -- Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah met with local entrepreneurs and representatives of Jordanian companies during a visit to Jabal Al Weibdeh in Amman on Tuesday. She stopped by Ezwitti initiative in downtown Amman.

During the meeting held at Bulbul Eatery, Her Majesty joined a group of Jordanian entrepreneurs and representatives of Endeavor Jordan and Beyond Capital for a discussion about challenges and opportunities that business owners are facing in the local job market.

Her Majesty heard from Tamer Al Salah, Managing Director of Endeavour Jordan, which is part of the global Endeavor network, who explained how his organisation aims to drive sustainable local economic growth and support job creation by accelerating the growth of high-impact entrepreneurial projects in the country.

Established by and for entrepreneurs, Endeavor serves as a global training, mentoring, and investment platform for future business founders, with its Jordanian chapter launched in 2009.

During the meeting, the Queen heard from the team of Beyond Capital, a Jordan-based venture capital platform founded in 2017 through a partnership between Endeavor Jordan and Silicon Badia.

The company invests in venture capital funds and startups that strive to create economic value for Jordan.

Afterward, Queen Rania visited Ezwitti, a social initiative that works on securing food aid for members of the community, where she met with its Founder Mahmoud Nabulsi and a number of volunteers.

Established in 2015, the initiative operates through a voucher-based system that enables its restaurant customers to purchase an additional meal for people in need, without requiring direct handover.

This model allows for the distribution of meals while preserving the dignity of those in need and promoting a sense of shared responsibility.

To date, Ezwitti, has provided over 400,000 meals through its growing network of more than 3,700 volunteers.

The initiative, whose model has been adopted in Oman, eventually aims to expand to several governorates in Jordan and other countries across the Arab World.
