LSN Jordan
LSN Jordan was established in Amman in, April, 1999, and is notable for being the first amputee peer support group in the Middle East. LSN-Jordan works with civilian landmine survivors and people with limb loss in Amman, Irbid, Ramtha, Mafraq, Zarqa, Ajloun and Jarash, and with military survivors throughout the country.

LSN-Jordan has assisted more than 1,300 landmine survivors and people with limb loss. In addition to peer support, the Jordan Network is working with other disability organizations to raise awareness of the general public and local governments of the issues facing people with disabilities, and to enforce local laws that will protect these rights.

Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan is the International Patron and Honorary Chair of LSN.
