Yesterday, Thursday, 9/29/2022, the work on the project of establishing Alsalam School in Al-Hajar- Al-Aqrud sub-district- Al-Misrakh District- Taiz Governorate was launched.

The school will have 9 classrooms, a management room, a warehouse, bathrooms and a fence and it is funded by the Tawakkol Karman Foundation.

This project is part of the Foundation’s interventions in the education sector to bridge educational gaps in more than one directorate and governorate in order to support society in the process of recovery, normalizing educational life, and enabling boys and girls to enroll in schools to reduce dropout rates.

The head of the local council of Al-Misrakh directorate expressed his thanks and appreciation to Tawakkol Karman Foundation for the rapid response to the needs of the community. He also added that around a week ago the project funding contract was signed between the foundation and the local authority, and today, the site will be delivered and the work will be launched.

Professor Hayat Al -Tahbhani, the coordinator of the project, confirmed that the support of Tawakkol Karman Foundation came just in time and that it was provided to the sons and daughters of the village of Al-Hajar to grant them the right to receive education.
