Our distinguished panel will discuss how beleaguered nonprofits are struggling to deal with the increased challenges for desperate refugees and aid workers in the Middle East and elsewhere during the COVID-19 crisis. Dr. Niveen Rizkalla will present findings from her timely research with an emphasis on Syrian refugees and aid workers in Lebanon. Amanda Lane will share the importance of small grass-roots organizations, like the Collateral Repair Project that she directs and which mostly works with Syrian, Iraqi and Kurdish refugees in Jordan.

For this special holiday episode, we have four, shorter interviews with beneficiaries and volunteers at Collateral Repair Project about their own traditions and takeaways concerning the month of Ramadan. We focus on the differences on Ramadan in Jordan versus their home countries as well as their own exploration of what giving back during this month means to them, specifically through CRP.
For our last episode of the year, we sit down with Amanda Lane who is the Executive Director at Collateral Repair Project, and reflect on how far the organization has come since her arrival. We also talk about CRP’s future plans, the new center, and what’s in store for 2019.
This episode marks the launch of the Collateral Repair Podcast, a new platform from Collateral Repair Project to tell the stories of refugees living in Amman, Jordan. We begin our program with an episode on 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.
