As part of its ongoing efforts to contribute significantly to Jordan’s socio-economic development, Taameer Jordan Holding recently donated a sum of JD 100 thousand to Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) community initiative. Taameer made this contribution to fully adopt the second phase of "Re-painting Eastern Amman" campaign that the municipality is implementing to repaint and renovate the external fronts of buildings in that area.
Taameer Jordan Holding’s contribution was made at a ceremonial event held at the Municipality headquarters in Ras Al Ain on the morning of July 22nd 2007. The event was attended by H.E. Mr. Omar Maani, Mayor of Amman, Eng. Khalid Al Dahleh, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Taameer Jordan Holding, Dr. Khalid Al Wazani, General Manager of Taameer Jordan Holding, and members of the local media.
The first phase of this campaign, launched earlier this year, involved the repainting of buildings located in Ras Al Ain, Jabal Al-Qal’a, and in areas surrounding the Roman Amphitheater. The total area re-painted in that phase exceeded 70 thousand sqm. During the second phase of this project 18 more areas will be renovated.
Taameer Jordan Holding’s involvement in the second phase of this project falls directly in line with its strategy for supporting Jordan’s social and economic development. The sums donated will be allocated for the purchasing of building materials, and paint products needed for this project.
Commenting on Taameer Jordan Holding generous donation Mr. Omar Maani said, “We are proud of the successful outcome we reaped from the first phases of this campaign, and we can only look forward to more successful outcomes to come. We at the Municipality honor and respect the great level of commitment Taameer Jordan Holding has shown towards our beloved country, and we acknowledge the lengths that its team members and management are taking to ensure that the city of Amman maintains an authentic feel. If this support from Taameer Jordan Holding proves anything, it proves that our private sector players are showing a true commitment to corporate social responsibility, a concept close to GAM’s heart, and with such a commitment demonstrated by Taameer Jordan Holding we can only look forward to a more prosperous Amman.”
Dr. Al Wazani from his end added that Taameer Jordan Holding’s contribution to this initiative is one that falls directly in line with its commitment to the creation of healthier living environments for Jordanians, “Our partnership with GAM helps to solidify our belief in the fruitful outcomes that partnerships between the private and public sectors may bring. We at Taameer Jordan Holding hope to be contributing to more beneficial initiatives like this one in the future, for such initiatives are the building blocks for healthier economies.”
“We feel that our cooperation with the Greater Amman Municipality is a fruitful one as we align ourselves with His Majesty King Abdullah II’s vision for preserving our cultural heritage by assisting in improving our city’s aesthetics. Taameer Jordan Holding is a leading real-estate developer in the local market and in this regard we are also contributing to our Kingdom’s strive for a healthier economy and improving lifestyles,” Dr. Wazani further explained.
