Dubai: Dubai Cares, on Wednesday announced a joint venture with leading children's organisation Save the Children to drive primary education programmes in Yemen over a five-year period, benefitting nearly 46,000 children from 35 under-developed schools.
Dubai Cares will work with 25 rural schools in five districts in the governorates of Lahej and Abyan, and 10 schools in the urban districts of the Aden governorate to improve enrolment among vulnerable groups.
The programme will also work towards improving the quality of education, ensuring the schools become truly inclusive to all children – especially girls, who continue to be the largest group excluded from education.
The Yemen programme marks the second partnership between Dubai Cares and Save the Children, following the primary education programmes that were jointly launched in Sudan in April.
Dubai Cares is a charitable establishment with the aim of educating one million children in developing countries.
