Tawakkol Karman Foundation built a primary school targeting large sectors of the most vulnerable disadvantaged groups, to integrate them into society and enable them to obtain basic education, continue secondary and university education, and enhance their capabilities to integrate into society in the province.
A teacher at Al-Amjad School, which was made of palm fronds in Aal Hadian district, Al-Wadi Directorate, in the oil and gas-rich Marib governorate, said that the children of Aal Hadian decided to build the school themselves to help their children obtain an education, to face the discrimination they were facing from schools in other regions, and due to the failure of the state for decades in providing education services, integrating society and building citizenship cities.
The principal Jaber Saeed Hadian, of Al-Amjad School, said that the school does not protect the students from the sun or the sands of the desert, adding that the parents used to help the students by providing palm fronds to cover students from the sun, or tarpaulins to face the dust and the desert sand.
Tawakkol Karman Foundation decided to build a modern school in the village, and within a short period, a new school was built, on one floor, accommodating all students in the classrooms, administration office, a wall, and a field for the students’ morning queue, equipped with electricity, chairs and teaching tools.
There was nothing more eloquent than the smiles on the faces of the young students in their new school to express the school's administration and students' gratitude to Tawakkol Foundation and to Haith Al-Insan program broadcasted by Belqees channel during the month of Ramadan.
