International Travel Support

Concept:
Amongst the variety of programs that KAFD is offering in order to build the capacity of
Jordanian youth and provide them with equal opportunities to enhance their skills and
exposure, KAFD has launched the International Travel Support Scheme, which aims at
supporting active youth to participate in programs abroad. The program covers the costs
of travel tickets (partially or fully) and the full visa expenses for participants who are
excellent in academic and non-academic programs. The purpose of this is program is to
lift any financial barriers that may prevent Jordanian youth from participating in
international events.
