The Issue

The Challenge We Face

Out-of-school children in Yemen reached 4.5 million in 2025—up from 4.1 million in 2024.

Years of protracted conflict, economic collapse, and recurring climate-related emergencies have severely disrupted education in Yemen, leaving millions of children without safe and quality learning opportunities. Thousands of schools have been damaged, destroyed, or repurposed as shelters.

Teachers frequently face delayed or unpaid salaries, resulting in high absenteeism. Children in unsafe or overcrowded environments are exposed to protection risks including harassment, exploitation, and psychosocial stress.

Our Approach

Goals & Objectives

Our Goal

To provide safe and equitable access to quality education for every child in Yemen, enabling learning, protection, and hope for the future.

Main Objective

Enable safe and equitable access to quality learning for crisis-affected girls and boys by providing learning materials, supporting teachers, and delivering emergency education services.

01

Provide immediate access to safe, inclusive, and protective learning environments for crisis-affected children and youth.

02

Ensure at-risk populations have timely access to culturally appropriate, age- and gender-sensitive information and interventions.

03

Restore learning in equitable, safe, and protective educational settings that support the physical, psychosocial, and cognitive well-being of children.
