Medair in Irbid, Jordan

I visited Medair’s office in Amman, Jordan, and then joined staff on two house visits in the city of Irbid. As a component of a maternal health program, the team meets with families to assess needs and provide support. Working alongside an Arabic-speaking Communications Officer, I photographed the women and families we visited after the Comms Officer walked the clients through the consent form and conducted story-gathering interviews in Arabic. Like most participantts in the program, both families are refugees from Syria. As a longtime follower of Medair’s humanitarian work, it was an honor to watch it unfold first-hand, and to document two powerful women raising families in a new country.
