About Founder

His Professional Life

Ahmad Al-Jarrah’s military service in the Jordanian Armed Forces served as the main foundation for his future endeavors. The experience and skills he gained, particularly in the field of mine clearance and dealing with remnants of war, greatly shaped his leadership abilities. His contributions to landmine clearance projects in Jordan also laid the foundation for his transition to civilian work, ensuring that his expertise continued to develop even after his military service.

Al-Jarrah has always sought to work in a collaborative framework to reduce the risks of landmines and remnants of war, driven by his professional and humanitarian work towards war-affected areas. To further his vision, he became the Director of Operations at the National Commission for Mine Clearance and Rehabilitation (NCDR) in 2005, playing a pivotal role in achieving a mine-free Jordan.

The escalating events in the world, especially in the Middle East and North Africa, have caused immense suffering due to landmines and remnants of war. These issues have negatively impacted the development and stability of the affected countries. Recognizing the need for a more professional and holistic approach to addressing these challenges, Al Jarrah directed his work towards innovative solutions and strategies to deal with new and evolving crises in conflict zones. Ahmed Al Jarrah believed that his dream would eventually become a reality. He set out to establish a private foundation focused on mine action and consulting, looking for trusted colleagues to help build the company. His goal was to create a dynamic and transformative organization, overcoming bureaucratic obstacles to deliver more effective humanitarian solutions, especially in conflict zones. This was the beginning of his vision to build a company focused on work, development and solving the challenges facing humanity.
