Within the framework of supporting the continuation of the educational process for the children of Yemen in Taiz Governorate, Qatar Charity (QC) rented a school building for a full academic year so that the children could continue their education in an appropriate environment and prevent them from dropping out of school after their school was destroyed.
QC distributed school bags and school uniforms for each male and female student, in addition to giving incentives to teachers and paying the costs of renting a building for the school, considering the difficult conditions in the city of Taiz, whose schools are not duly equipped for the educational process.
This project targeted 400 male and female students at an estimated cost of $10,000.
This step was welcomed officially and popularly, as the principal of the school, Mona al-Jamie, expressed happiness at the students’ return to school and said: “After the school was destroyed, the educational process stopped and students began to drop out of education. This is what made us look for a shelter for the students to study, and they only found an old and dilapidated building. However, we were evicted from it due to non-payment of rent."
Al-Jamai continued, "No one paid any attention to us except Qatar Charity, which initiated a project to support the continuation of the educational process for Yemeni children in Taiz Governorate, Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi School. We thank the good people in Qatar who supported the continuation of education."
For his part, director-general of the Office of Education in Taiz Governorate, Abdul Wasea Shaddad, said: "This is the first project of Qatar Charity in Taiz for education, and we hope these projects will continue to include several schools in the city. The Qatar Charity initiative responded to the distress call for a project to support continuing the educational process.
Mohamed Abdo Hassan, an education official in Taiz Governorate, said: “The high rent in the region was an obstacle to finding a building for students, so the intervention of Qatar Charity had a great impact in remedying the problem and continuing education, and this is thanks to the generosity of our brothers in Qatar and what we have been accustomed to. They are always pioneers of goodness and giving, and we hope they will continue to help the rest of the schools in Taiz."
