Pure Hands ensures crisis-affected children can continue learning, even in the most difficult circumstances.
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.
