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.

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
