Aden, In a bid to uplift vulnerable youths, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) said yesterday it was sponsoring financially 148 orphans in Yemen’s Aden Governorate, an initiative that coincides with the Arab Orphan Day, observed annually on the first Friday of April.
The sponsorship program marks the second phase of a broader KSrelief project targeting orphans in eight Yemeni governorates: Aden, Lahj, Hadhramaut, Al-Mahra, Al-Hudaydah, Taiz, Ma’rib, and Al-Jawf.
With a focus on long-term support, the project aims to empower 440 families by creating sustainable job opportunities. This will equip them with a steady source of income, enabling them to secure essential living needs, education, and healthcare.
It aims to mitigate the economic hardship many families face after having lost their breadwinner. By strengthening their financial situation, the project ultimately helps orphans stay enrolled in schools and pursue their education.
School bags will also be distributed to 1,300 o
rphans – both boys and girls – as part of the initiative.
KSrelief intervention builds upon Saudi Arabia’s longstanding commitment to providing humanitarian relief to Yemeni orphans. This comprehensive program aims to improve their living conditions, alleviate their suffering, and pave the way for a brighter future.
