RIYADH: Saudi aid agency, KSrelief, distributed 600 school bags and uniforms to students in Hadhramaut, Yemen, state news agency SPA reported on Sunday.
The distribution was part of the second phase of the ‘Back to School Project’ in Yemen, which aims to provide 95 classrooms with supplies and educational materials such as bags and school uniforms.
The project also seeks to create job opportunities for low-income families by providing locally-made school bags.
“The goal is to create a supportive educational environment for male and female students in Yemen, encourage them to continue their education, and assist families in reducing the costs of purchasing school supplies,” KSrelief said in a statement.
