Al-Nashmiyya Association for the Development

Al- Nashmiyya Association for the Development of Women and Children is a charity organization that began in 2015 and now has over 33 women who work at the center in various capacities including travel, culture and food. The location is quite unique as it is the first building in the area referred to as New Jerash from 1967.  The original stone wall that enclosed the home is still visible to guests, and the last standing wall.  The backyard area gives a wonderful view of the city and on a clear day you can see clearly across the valley.
The women offer a traditional Thob experience. Guests are taken on a tour back in time, learning about the various types of Thobs worn and what their stitches and colors represent.
The association also offers a traditional Henna party experience.  All these experiences can be ended with a meal featuring a local specialty.
