The Disi Women Association is a nonprofit organization that was founded by a group of Bedouin women in the heart of the Wadi Rum red rose desert. The association was established with the aim of improving the economic and social lives of Disi women and other community members by providing them with opportunities to learn, share, and grow.

One of the key projects offered by the association is the ceramics-making project, which provides Disi women with the opportunity to learn the traditional Bedouin techniques of making handmade ceramics. These ceramics are then sold to visitors of Wadi Rum, providing a source of income for the women involved. The association also collaborates with national and international organizations to offer training courses that help to improve the skills of Disi women.

In addition to the ceramics-making project, it is offers a range of other training courses and projects, such as embroidery, sewing, and cooking. These projects aim to provide women with skills that can be used to generate income and improve their quality of life.

It is also collaborates with national and international organizations to offer workshops on various topics such as health, education, and leadership. These workshops provide women in the region with additional training and support, helping them to further develop their skills and knowledge.

The Burda Women Association is another nonprofit organization led by the remarkable Bedouin woman known as “Oum Laith”. Along with a group of women in the village, she launched this NGO in January 2010 with the aim of supporting women and children in the village. The association welcomes volunteers to participate in their many projects, including CeraDisi – a ceramics-making project where 10 women are employed to create art from mud, and Jadayel – a project where the women collected old tales from the elderly and created photos and paintings inspired by these tales.

Through their work, both Associations are making a significant impact on the lives of Bedouin women in the Wadi Rum region. By providing opportunities for education, skill-building, and income generation, these associations are empowering women and helping them to achieve greater economic and social independence.
