RED NOSES Jordan

www.rednoses.jo

The journey of RED NOSES Jordan started as part of a crisis mission in 2014. During that “Emergency smile” mission, our clowns visited various refugee centres in the region to support children and their families to develop strategies to cope with their challenging situation. Parallel to the crisis mission, regular clown visits started taking place in the King Hussein Cancer Centre and the Doctors without Boarders Hospital in Amman. Since then, the programmes and the clown team in Jordan continued to grow until the organisation was officially registered in 2017 to become the 11^th RED NOSES organisation.

In 2012, RED NOSES Palestine was founded as a subsidiary organisation of RED NOSES International. By bringing humor and laughter into Palestinian hospitals, our team of clowndoctors boost the resistance and willpower of their patients. Giving individual treatment as they visit their patients from bed to bed, they bring lots of laughter and brighter moments to the serious, real-life problems the patients are encountering. A bridge between humour and health treatment is successfully created, increasing the quality of life and the well-being of those in medical care. ​​​​​​​
