Tawakkol Karman Foundation built a kiosk to support a family in Mukalla city, in the Hadramout governorate of Yemen. Abu Aiman's family fled from Aden to Mukalla following the Houthi militia's invasion of the city in 2014. Since then, Abu Aiman did not find a job to support his family leading him to fall into a psychological disorder. 

Om Aiman had to bear the burdens of supporting her children. Om Aiman worked in a small stall on one of the streets of Mukalla where she sold samosas, standing and cooking in the extreme heat for hours. Om Aiman shares that she dreamed of getting a shop instead of working in the street. 

Tawakkol Karman Foundation decided, through "Haith Al-Insan” program, to realize her dream and turn it into reality by building a kiosk selling samosa, potatoes, and popular food. The kiosk project to support Om Aiman is part of Tawakkol Karman Foundation development program "Haith Al-Insan”, which is presented on Belqees channel during the month of Ramadan.

Om Aiman says we left Aden at the end of 2014, because of the heavy bombardment of the city. It took us a week to escape because of the fighting everywhere. We moved from one place to another until we reached Mukalla.

Om Aiman bore the burdens of supporting her children to compensate her husband, who suffered from a psychological disorder due to the conditions of displacement.

Om Aiman worked in a small stall on one of the streets of Mukalla, and she was working under the heat and the sun, selling potatoes to provide for the requirements and needs of her children.

Om Aiman says that I faced many difficulties, and I dreamed of getting a shop instead of working in the street, but I could not afford it.

A simple but big dream for Om Aiman. Tawakkol Karman Foundation decided, through "Haith Al-Insan” program to realize her dream and turn it into reality by building a kiosk selling samosa, potatoes, and popular food.

The kiosk project to support Om Aiman is part of Tawakkol Karman Foundation development program "Haith Al-Insan”, which is presented on Belqees channel during the month of Ramadan.
