KSrelief, UNICEF in $7m program to support Yemeni children

RIYADH, 30 March 2022, (TON): Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center on Tuesday signed a $7 million joint cooperation agreement with the UN aid organization UNICEF to support Yemeni children’s access to quality education.

Almost 600,000 children and 7,000 teachers, as well as 54,000 Yemeni people, will benefit from services provided under the agreement.

KSrelief so far has implemented 26 educational projects worth almost $122 million in Yemen, in addition to implementing several joint projects with the UN and international organizations to support the country’s educational sector.

Under the agreement, an educational strategy is expected to be developed for displaced children in the conflict-racked country to ensure they receive quality education in safe environments.

Children will receive support for their psychological and physical well-being, while training programs will help teachers deal with those affected by the war.
