Jordan
Jordan
Located in the Middle East, Jordan is rich in culture and history. In comparison to the surrounding countries, Jordan is a haven of rest and peace, a tribute to the nature of the Jordanian people and strong governance. Operation Mercy works amongst rural communities providing physiotherapy programs for disabled children, youth sport programs, English education, income generating training, and the management of a successful family centre.
Children categories
Orthopaedic Equipment
Operation Mercy's desire is to increase the independence and mobility of disabled children. Many children need specialized orthopaedic equipment for ambulation or to improve health conditions. This project provides needed equipment, as determined by our physiotherapist. Currently we await the required trained personnel to implement this program.
