AMMAN, JORDAN, January 04, 2011

Once again, "Hikmat Road Safety" delivered on its promise to complete 500 football fields within public schools across Jordan serving more than 150,000 children. It accomplished this in an astonishing record six months overcoming many hurdles and obstacles in a determined and professional way.
Through the strict and practical adherence to its "More with Less" philosophy, "Hikmat Road Safety" was able to keep the cost per field to under USD 300, while serving on average 300 children per field making the average cost per child as low as one US Dollar.
These fields provide an outlet for Jordanian children to play safely away from road traffic, stay away from any negative influence of streets, lead a healthy life through exercise, learn to team and how to deal with failure . All of this for a cost of less than one US dollar per child.
On his part, Mr. Maher Kaddoura, founder of "Hikmat Road Safety," said: "We are demonstrating that through smart and hard work, effective collaboration with government, local communities and
supporters, we can overcome challenges and deliver results on the ground with less talk and complain. We will continue to work closely with our partners Ministry of Education, Greater Amman Municipality, and Central Traffic Department to complete additional 500 fields by early summer making the total 1000 fields serving more than 300,000 children."
