Brief About The Project: 

Hmoud has many Historical and architectural values; it is one of the last examples of the Jordanian traditional architecture.
It was built by one Christian clan, Al Halaseh Family and kept its’ pure Christian population until the 1970’s where the Azazmeh clan “originated from Palestine” started squatting in the Old Village.
This Project aims to:
1. Revive Hmoud to its past glory and revitalize the abandoned core of Hmoud, due to the huge migration of the family members.
2. Invest the Pastoral techniques to revive the Production and improve the collapsed economic status of the Village.
