Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed on Thursday a cooperation agreement with a civil-society organization, valued at SAR 5.625 million, to implement the second phase of a project addressing the local capacity development needs for educating illiterate students and those with disabilities in Yemen.
The project will be carried out in the governorates of Aden, Lahij, Al-Dhale, Shabwa, Hadhramaut, and Al-Mahra, benefiting a total of 8,975 individuals.
The agreement was signed by KSrelief Assistant Supervisor General of Operations and Programs Eng. Ahmed Al-Baiz.
The project aims to build the institutional capacities of centers and public schools working in the fields of protection, care, and rehabilitation of people with disabilities, as well as literacy schools.
It seeks to boost the educational infrastructure, supporting the outcomes of education for people with disabilities and literacy students.
The project is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts, through KSrelief, to help address the key challenges faced by educational institutions in caring for children with disabilities and combating illiteracy, which hinder their integration into Yemeni society.
