The office of Qatar Charity (QC) in Yemen has announced that it will implement 700 economic empowerment projects in Yemen during 2025, with a total budget of QR 2.6 million. The initiative aims to support vulnerable groups and is expected to benefit approximately 5,000 individuals.
This initiative builds upon years of successfully implementing income-generating projects, empowering vulnerable groups to overcome challenges and build a more secure future.
As part of the Protection and Livelihood Support Project, 13 sewing, embroidery, and bag-making machines were recently provided to widows and women in need. This initiative aims to create job opportunities and enhance their role in community development by offering equipment they would otherwise be unable to afford.
To empower Yemen's most vulnerable, the project provided sewing training to achieve self-sufficiency for their families and enable them to produce. In addition to training and sewing machines, beneficiaries received tailoring tools, fabrics, production materials, and a solar-powered system to operate the machines.
The project brought considerable relief to the beneficiaries. Mrs. Iman Al-Dulaimi shared, "I feel great joy. This project will help me support my family, and I thank the kind-hearted donors for their support during these challenging times."
For her part, Mrs. Maryam Al-Shammari, a leather sewing and bag-making trainee, expressed her happiness at receiving the sewing machine. She explained that it would help her support her 14-member family, some of whom are ill, by covering living and medical expenses.
It is worth mentioning that over the past five years, Qatar Charity's Yemen office has implemented hundreds of income-generating projects for the most vulnerable, with a total value of approximately QR 15.6 million.
