Jerusalem Middle East Reconciliation International

Jerusalem MERIT is an organisation that exists primarily to provide relief and humanitarian aid for the Iraqi refugee community residing in Jordan and to facilitate interfaith dialogue and conflict resolution amongst the Jewish, Arab and Christian communities. The main projects of Jerusalem MERIT include the provision of comprehensive educational, medical and spiritual support for the Iraqi refugee community, the implementation of a food aid project, and the provision of housing assistance to Iraqi refugee families. Jerusalem MERIT also supports its ambassador, The Reverend Canon Dr Andrew White, in the continuation of a long, established history of international peace and reconciliation work whose aim is to advise, educate and bring peace to areas of conflict.
