Yemen : KSrelief Launches Initiative to Empower Orphaned Families

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre (KSrelief) has initiated a program in Al Mahrah Governorate to assist families coping with the loss of a breadwinner.
The program will train 50 families in valuable skills such as electrical work, mobile repair, crafting incense, perfumes, and sweets, hairdressing, accessory making, henna art, sewing, and embroidery.
This project aims to empower orphaned families with sustainable means of earning income. Alongside professional skills training, it provides livelihood, educational, and health support, SPA reported.
The objective is to enable 440 families to achieve self-sufficiency and facilitate school attendance for 1,300 orphans.
Meanwhile in Sudan, the Riyadh-based center also distributed 1,799 food baskets to the neediest and displaced families, benefiting 3,487 individuals.
The initiative is part of the second phase of KSrelief’s food-security support project in Sudan.
The aid comes within the relief and humanitarian projects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provides through KSrelief to many needy and affected countries and peoples worldwide.
