We are on a mission to unlock the enormous intellectual potential of disadvantaged young people, empowering them to take part in transforming their lives and their communities through scientific and technological training.
Following this commitment, we are very excited to announce that we are partnering with Chaffinch Trust to deliver a pilot educational program in Amman, Jordan for refugee children aged between 14 – 16 years. This partnership is coming at a great time where out of the 89.3 million forcibly displaced people, an estimated 36.5 million (41%) are children below 18 years of age.

Phoenix Space was founded to increase scientific and technological literacy among refugee and disadvantaged youth, delivering cutting edge STEM- focused educational courses to underserved communities in the Middle East and globally.
Chaffinch Trust, a charitable organization based in the UK, has been in the past 5 years, developing and executing initiatives and projects that not only encourage, but also support the disadvantaged in our societies to meet the challenges they face.
The collaboration which commenced from the second week of January involves the use of Phoenix Space Flagship STEM Program which was specifically designed with the inspirational theme of Space Science by our tutors for the children that have been selected to take part in this pilot cohort.
We at Phoenix Space are very excited about this collaboration as it will empower us to make even more impact in the lives of this displaced youth community knowing full well that we have the support and backing of the Chaffinch Trust.
