Tawakkol Karman Foundation has wrapped up the seventh season of its annual Haith Al-Insan program by implementing 29 humanitarian and development projects across eight Yemeni governorates.

The projects were carried out in Taiz, Lahj, Marib, Hadramout, Al-Mahrah, Abyan, Shabwah, and Socotra, covering a range of key areas including education, services for people with disabilities, water and agriculture, health, and initiatives targeting children and women.

In addition, the computer lab at Taiz University was refurbished and equipped with modern devices, and the student dormitory for female university students was rehabilitated.
