Uplifting Yemen’s Sheroes
Of the 4.5 million people left homeless in Yemen, 80% are women and children, with over a quarter of displaced Yemeni households headed by women. Meanwhile, only 6% of women in Yemen are employed, meaning millions of Yemeni women and children are going without a stable income. Basic necessities, such as food, medicine and educational supplies are therefore going unmet.
Uplifting Yemen’s Sheroes (the women who heroically head their households) empowers Yemeni women by giving them the tools that they need to start their own local businesses. By giving them incoming-generating tools such as sewing machines and equipment, or fronting the cost of rent for a convenience store, they are able to begin their own enterprises and provide for them and their families. Setting up future generations for success.
