Our story

Tkiyet Um Ali was founded in 2003 by HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, with the noble mission of providing sustainable food support and essential assistance to the families in need across the Kingdom's governorates, all in commemoration of the late Queen Alia Al Hussein.

Tkiyet Um Ali introduced the pioneering "Takaya Al-Khair" markets, as first-of-its-kind endeavor, aligned with the monthly food parcel program catering to 3,800 families in need across the Kingdom's governorates.

With the issuance of the Food Security Report for the year 2010, which was postponed by the Department of Statistics, the report revealed that 0.3% of the Kingdom's households are considered food insecure and 2.1% are considered vulnerable to food insecurity, which rang the bell for Tkiyet Um Ali's rapid response.

Tkiyet Um Ali launched the “Takatuf” project, which delivers the shoulders of the Adahi that are performed during the blessed days of Eid al-Adha to our people in Palestine, as it sent the first shipment in 2012.

In cooperation with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization, Tkiyet Um Ali launched a relief campaign for citizens in the Gaza Strip, Tkiyet Um Ali also delivered 25,000 food parcels to 240,000 people.

With a generous gift from HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, Tkiyet Um Ali continued its journey by launching the second phase of the Eradicating Extreme Poverty Project to combat food poverty, to reach the number of 30,000 families throughout the Kingdom by the end of the year.

Tkiyet Um Ali responded to the repercussions of the Corona pandemic. It had a distinct role by continuing its daily business and operations during the Corona pandemic period. This is due to the measures taken by Tkiyet Um Ali prior to the announcement of the Defense and Prohibition Law in Jordan.

Tkiyet Um Ali contracted with an international company to reduce greenhouse gases with the aim of reducing gas emissions that lead to global warming and thus to a rise in global temperatures, by calculating the amount of greenhouse gases that result from Tkiyet Um Ali’s various operations such as the use of cars, papers, electricity, refrigeration devices, and others that contribute directly or indirectly in increasing the emission of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide, so that Tkiyet Um Ali becomes a carbon dioxide-free organization and an environmentally friendly organization.
