Riyadh: King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) has formalized a cooperation agreement with a civil society organization to launch the third phase of the Back to School Project across several districts in Yemen. This initiative aims to benefit approximately 6,000 individuals in Al-Mukha district in Taiz Governorate, Thamud district in Hadramaut Governorate, as well as in the governorates of Shabwah, Abyan, and Lahj.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the agreement was signed by Engineer Ahmed Al Baiz, the Assistant Supervisor General of Operations and Programs at KSrelief, during the International Conference on Conjoined Twins held in Riyadh. The project involves establishing 60 fully equipped classrooms and outfitting 10 schools to ensure a conducive learning environment. Additionally, 6,000 school uniforms and bags filled with essential school supplies will be distributed to students.

The initiative also focuses on providing job opportunities for low-income families, particularly those who
have previously participated in training and empowerment projects. These families will be engaged in manufacturing school bags and uniforms, thus supporting their economic sustenance.

This endeavor is part of the broader relief and humanitarian efforts spearheaded by the Kingdom through KSrelief. It aims to enhance the safety and continuity of education while addressing student dropout rates in the targeted regions of Yemen.
