The United Nations Messenger of Peace is the highest honor bestowed on a global citizen by the United Nations Secretary-General to raise awareness and support for efforts to address poverty, hunger and other pressing problems. HRH Princess Haya was named a Messenger of Peace by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in September 2007 in recognition of her long involvement in alleviating hunger and poverty. One of her most successful programmes, Tkiyet Um Ali, was the first food relief NGO in the Arab World.

Tkiyet Um Ali

https://tua.jo/

The first initiative of its kind in Jordan and in the Arab World, Tkiyet Um Ali provides food and services to the less privileged sectors of Jordanian society, the needy and the hungry. As Founder and Chairperson, HRH Princess Haya began deliberations on the project in 2002, and work was soon initiated in the name of Tkiyet Um Ali. Building for the Tkiyet began in 2003, and was completed in August 2004. By realizing this, Princess Haya brought to life one of the ideas which the late Queen Alia “Um Ali” had planned to initiate in Jordan to ensure that all Jordanians were provided with the basics of survival. Tkiyet Um Ali seeks to serve as a model for hunger and relief initiatives across the rest of the Arab world. It is considered to be the first NGO in Jordan to serve hot meals and provide humanitarian aid on daily basis to the poor and needy from the Jordanian society in all locations.
