Tamweelcom - Jordan Microfinance Company, provides responsible financial services and client-responsive solutions to empower entrepreneurs and low-income earners.

Building on its experience with revolving funds in community development projects in the early 1980s, the Noor Al Hussein Foundation launched Tamweelcom - the Jordan Micro Finance Company in 1999, to alleviate poverty and unemployment.

As a non-profit limited liability microfinance company, Tamweelcom provides tailored, fast-track, and responsible financing solutions to micro-entrepreneurs and marginalized citizens to improve their quality of life. It set out to afford financially excluded citizens, particularly women the opportunity to start businesses, generate income, and build their assets.

A Woman Empowered

For Khalida Khreisat, a microloan of $450 from Tamweelcom was all that it took to change the trajectory of her life. A stay-at-home wife living in the Balqa’a governorate in Jordan, Khalida – who had a diploma in accounting, was able to work from home making ceramics and build a customer base. She opened her own workshop and employed 4 young women and 3 young men. Her small business enabled her to educate her 2 children, buy a car and contribute to the household expenses. Khalida continues to flourish as a businesswoman who sells her products to hotels, and local and international customers.
