After an enormously successful matching campaign last year, Squash Dreamers is thrilled that Chase Lenfest has generously agreed to once again fund a matching campaign to support our brilliant refugee and underserved girls. He has pledged to match up to $100,000 worth of donations to fund our programming that empowers girls through education, sports and wellbeing.

WHO WE ARE

Squash Dreamers provides long-term, holistic programming to a community of ninety girls living in underserved communities in Amman, Jordan. Our family is made up of Syrian, Sudanese, Palestinian, Jordanian and Iraqi young women, all of whom have enormous dreams and ambitions. 
We provide them with English lessons, maths and Arabic classes, study skills sessions, fitness and squash training, wellbeing sessions, 1-1 support, and much more, to support them to reach their full potential. 

OUR SUCCESSES

All of our girls are brilliant - and many have secured incredible scholarship opportunities both in Jordan and abroad. 

Since 2023, 15 girls have studied at summer programmes in the UK, and this summer, Amal received a generous scholarship to attend Northfield Mount Hermon's prestigious summer session in the US. We are also incredibly proud of Fatima, who has become the first Syrian student to receive a Davis Scholarship at Westminster School in the US. She will complete her high school education there and then be supported with funding for university.

Eight girls are currently training to compete in a junior squash championships in Malaysia, one of whom also trains with the Jordanian National Squash Team Academy. 

If you'd like to help us continue making girls' dreams a reality, consider making a gift today. If you'd like to discuss your donation, or alternative ways to support us, please contact our executive director Daisy on daisy@squashdreamers.org
