The project to respond to the needs of developing local capacities to educate literacy students and people with disabilities (second phase) was launched on Thursday in the capital, Aden, funded by King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center and implemented by the Yamani Foundation for Development and Humanitarian Action.

At the inauguration, Mr. Saleh Mahmoud Hassan Abu Suhail, Undersecretary of the Social Welfare Sector, delivered a speech in which he conveyed the greetings of His Excellency the Minister of Social Affairs and Labor, Dr. Mohammed Saeed Al-Zaouri, and his blessings for this project (the second phase), stressing in his speech the importance of the project that will contribute to supporting institutions for people with disabilities, as well as teaching literacy in our country, which faces major challenges due to the war waged by the terrorist Houthi militias, which has doubled the number of people with disabilities and increased the illiteracy rate among society.
