Buq’at Daw’a" (Spotlight) Initiative

A community-based environmental initiative to raise awareness among the residents of Jabal
Amman area about energy-saving behaviors and techniques, reduce electricity bills for
underprivileged households in the area, and contribute to reducing environmental pollution.
The initiative team, supported by relevant specialists, designed and implemented a campaign to
raise community awareness about the different methods of reducing electricity consumption. The
campaign included visits to 500 households, to distribute leaflets containing direct tips for
reducing energy consumption. In addition, traditional lighting systems were replaced with
energy-saving ones for 100 underprivileged households selected in cooperation with community-
based organizations in the area. Finally, a mural was painted to deliver a number of awareness
messages calling for reducing electricity consumption and switching to renewable energy in
order to preserve the environment.
The initiative contributed to reducing electricity bills for underprivileged households and
improving their quality of life. The initiative encouraged the Heart of Amman beneficiaries to
participate and become active members in their community which positively contributed to their
sense of belonging.
