KSrelief Launches the Orphans Sponsorship and Empowerment Project in Al Mahrah, Yemen

AL MAHRAH, YEMEN: King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) launched the second phase of its Orphans Sponsorship and Empowerment project in Al Mahrah, Yemen.

The activities of the second phase of the project included providing school bags to local students and delivering educational, living, and health support to sponsor orphans to empower their families economically; these activities benefited 150 orphans. 

The Secretary-General of Al Mahrah governorate, Salem Nimer, praised KSrelief's humanitarian and relief efforts in Yemen and stressed the importance of this project, which empowers families to become productive and to improve their living conditions.

He also expressed his thanks to the government of Saudi Arabia, led by KSrelief, for its humanitarian and relief efforts and development projects, particularly the implementation of several projects that have served the people of Yemen. 

The project supports orphans in Yemen by economically empowering 440 families through job opportunities that in turn provide income, living, educational, and health support.

Empowering families by supporting orphans will increase their ability to deal with the economic consequences of losing a family breadwinner and will help encourage orphans to return to school and complete their education. Thus far, 1,300 orphans have returned to school as a result of this program.

The project is part of the humanitarian and relief efforts provided by KSrelief, Saudi Arabia's helping hand to the world, to provide support to orphans throughout Yemen and improve their living conditions.
