Towards a hunger-free Jordan is the vision in which her Royal Highness Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein launched TUA in 2003. Initially conceptualized by Her Majesty Queen Alia over 41 years ago, TUA is inspired by the Islamic concept of providing food for the underprivileged and assuming social responsibility for those who are less fortunate. Construction of TUA was completed, and operations commenced with a clear vision and a dedicated goal, which is eradicating hunger through its various food aid programs and meeting nutritional needs of families living in extreme poverty in all 12 governorates and 89 districts in Jordan.
