It all Started when ..
Our mother charity, Gift of Life International, began working in Jordan in 2015. Since then, it realized the need to expand the work to service the growing number of CHD cases in Jordan and the region, especially with the refugee crisis. This is when Gift of Life Jordan was created to conduct missions on a regular basis and train the local healthcare professionals. We always strive to expand our reach through our global network and PARTNERSHIPS with like-minded organizations and maximize our impact for healing more little hearts
Whatever it takes to heal the heart of the next child in need...

We coordinate free of charge missions for heart surgeries in collaboration with global medical teams to develop sustainable cardiac surgery, catheterization, and pediatric aftercare programs, as well as exchange expertise with local medical professionals.
We are a 100% volunteer organization. We team up with World Class Doctors and Healthcare professionals who donate their time and expertise to provide hope and healing to children with congenital heart disease.
