Education
“The Education Cluster in Yemen estimates that 4.7 million children need education assistance, including 3.7 million in acute need. This includes roughly 2 million children who are out of school. Girls are more likely to lose out on education, with 36 per cent out of school compared to 24 per cent of boys. Moreover, Education Cluster data confirms that an estimated 2000 schools are unfit for use due to the conflict.” However, all children have the right to go to school and learn, regardless of who they are, where they live, or how much money their family has. Good quality learning requires a safe, friendly environment, qualified and motivated teachers, and instruction in languages students can understand. It also requires that monitoring its outcomes and feedback. So, JAAHD aims to help in maintaining basic education services, particularly in areas where schools are damaged, closed, or unable to fully operate because of the conflict-related constraints. Thus, JAAHD takes serious steps towards renovating the education system mainly and directly for displaced boys, girls, and most vulnerable children across many prioritized areas in Yemen. Moreover, JAAHD ensures that schools remain open through many programs, such as schools’ rehabilitation, WASH facilities in schools, provision of new schools’ desks or repair of schools’ desks, provision of schools’ supplies and basic learning materials, provision of schools’ textbooks, and the establishment of learning spaces.
