Amala Education

Marcelin fled DRC to Kakuma Refugee Camp with nothing. To sustain himself, he began farming, which has now grown into something much bigger. Marcelin runs Farming and Health Education, a CBO which trains refugee communities in regenerative farming.

Taking part in the Amala Global Secondary Diploma, Marcelin added a social enterprise element to his CBO, teaching himself to grow edible mushrooms and sell them to the community at an affordable rate.

"Amala shapes your mind, giving you a path to go down, and teaches you how to be self-reliant”.

What happens when educators go beyond the classroom?

Students build time-travel games. Others perform in front of their friends. Everyone discovers new possibilities.

At Amala Jordan, educators are making it happen, one new partnership at a time. Read how in our new blog ⬇️

The Amala community is hugely diverse. Today, students and team at the Amala centre in Amman, Jordan are marking UNESCO World Day for Cultural Diversity by wearing their traditional dress and celebrating where they come from with pride 🙌

At just eleven years old, Odai arrived in Jordan after leaving a homeland he and his family never chose to abandon. They came searching for what every human being searches for: a better life, safety, and a future worth waiting for.

At Amala in Amman, he found community and a learning environment that transformed his way of thinking and nurtured his love of learning.

Now eighteen, Odai has just been resettled to Italy, ready to start a new chapter. And Amala educator Rahaf has written a beautiful reflection to say goodbye to her student.

"As I take this step to Italy, I carry everything Amala built in me. The resilience, the passion, and the belief that I belong wherever I choose to go. This organization is proof that when the right people come together with the right mission, they don’t just change circumstances, they change lives. And they changed mine.” -Odai

At Amala, we believe people thrive when they're truly supported and feel that they belong.

We're for a new role - People and Culture Manager - and we are looking for someone who combines genuine warmth with HR expertise to shape how our international and multicultural team grows and connects.
