The Issue

The Challenge We Face

Over two million Yemeni children are out of school—and millions more learn in classrooms without basics.

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 for displaced families.

Teachers frequently face delayed or unpaid salaries, resulting in high absenteeism and attrition, which undermines learning continuity. Children learning in unsafe or overcrowded environments are exposed to protection risks, including harassment, exploitation, and the negative effects of psychosocial stress.
