Marriott Hotels in Jordan Launch Charitable Initiatives Supporting the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center

As part of its continued commitment to strengthening its active role in social responsibility initiatives, Marriott International hotels in Jordan, comprising nine properties, launched a series of CSR initiatives in collaboration with the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center (KHCF & KHCC) to support cancer patients and promote a spirit of compassion, unity, and community giving.

This support was led by employees across Marriott International hotels in Jordan, reflecting a strong spirit of solidarity and collaboration through several initiatives, such as “Days for Life” initiative, under which employees voluntarily donated days from their annual leaves, with the monetary value contributed to the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center.  They also joined a friendly football tournament featuring teams from various Marriott International properties, with all participation fees supporting the cause. Guests were also encouraged to participate through the “Rooms for Hope” initiative, which offered them the opportunity to donate JOD 1 for each stay, enabling them to directly contribute to supporting patients during their visit.

The hotels that participated in these initiatives include: St. Regis Amman, Ritz Carlton Amman, W Amman, Al Manara, A Luxury Collection hotel, Saraya Aqaba, Amman Marriott, Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa, Petra Marriott, Westin Saraya Aqaba Resort & Spa and Sheraton Amman Al Nabil Hotel.

Ms. Nisreen Qatamesh, Director General of the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center, expressed her appreciation for this collaboration as it exemplifies the fruitful partnership between the private sector and healthcare institutions. She underscored that these efforts directly support cancer patients and help alleviate their burdens. She also commended the spirit of giving demonstrated by the participating hotels, highlighting the life-saving impact of corporate social responsibility."

From his side, Muhannad Hameed, the Jordan Marriott Business Council Chairman expressed: “We are truly honored to be part of this meaningful and ongoing partnership with the KHCF. Supporting such a valuable cause aligns deeply with our commitment to community, compassion, and social responsibility. This collaboration reflects our belief that hospitality extends beyond our doors and into the lives we touch. We are proud to stand alongside KHCF in their impactful mission and remain fully committed to continuing and strengthening this partnership in the years to come.”

The year-long initiatives culminated in an official event where Marriott International hotels in Jordan delivered donations to the King Hussein Cancer Foundation and Center, which amounted to $90,000.
