Jordans Signs Pact With YAI Network to Help People With Disabilities

NEW YORK (AP) - HRH Prince Raad signed a contract on Tuesday with a New York-based not-for-profit group, YAI Network, to develop programmes for Jordanians with mental and other developmental disabilities.
The initial goal is to create group residences, day care facilities and job training programmes at centres in Amman and the nation's third-largest city, Karak. Services will be aimed at people with disabilities as well as their families.
Prince Raad, who visited YAI Network facilities in the US several years ago, said the programmes were "something beautiful, something that has already succeeded" in improving the lives of disabled people.
