In a move to support education in remote areas, Tawakkol Karman Foundation, through its "Haith Al-Insan" program in its seventh season, has completed the construction of a modern school that will benefit over 2,000 people in Shabwa governorate, eastern Yemen.

In the area of Al-Faleq, located in Arma district, 65 kilometers northeast of Ataq city and just 12 kilometers from the Al-Aqla oil field, residents had long relied on makeshift tents and huts as classrooms.

Children would walk long distances daily, under scorching heat or bitter winter cold, to continue their education. Three volunteer teachers lived nearby, fully dedicated to educating the local children despite harsh climate and limited resources. Determined to keep their children in school, families allocated part of their modest income to pay the teachers.

"Our goal is to raise an educated generation that can uplift the region and the country," said Adel Al-Buraiki, one of the teachers. "But we face many challenges—tents tear in the summer heat, rains and wind worsen in the fall, and the winter cold keeps many students at home."

Student Hadi Al-Quraywi shared his hope for a better learning environment: "Some of my friends dropped out because there’s no proper school building. We wish for a school with classrooms, chairs, and the materials we need to learn."

In response, Tawakkol Karman Foundation stepped in and built Belqees School, consisting of four classrooms, administrative offices, and complete with modern furnishings and supplies to create a suitable learning environment.

The community, not expecting the project to be completed so quickly, celebrated with joy when construction was announced finished.

"We thank Tawakkol Karman Foundation and the 'Haith Al-Insan' program for this great achievement. Today is our greatest celebration—the school gives us hope for a better future for our children," said Saleh Al-Quraywi, a father of one of the students.
