Tawakkol Karman Foundation has sponsored "Takamul" initiative under "Musanada" program for supporting youth initiatives in 2024. The program aims to enhance the role of Yemeni youth in their community's development by empowering them economically and stimulating their initiative and creativity.
"Takamul" initiative was selected after an extensive screening process by Tawakkol Karman Foundation from hundreds of proposals submitted for "Musanada" program, which provides financial and administrative support to qualifying initiatives for real-world implementation and active community participation.
The initiative targeted students from "Taiz Al-Kubra Secondary School" and "Martyr Al-Hakimi School" (2,900 students) in the Cairo and Mozaffar districts of Taiz governorate (southwest Yemen).
The initiative aimed to rehabilitate chemistry labs in the targeted schools to enhance education quality and provide a comprehensive learning environment. It also sought to equip students with educational tools and materials to help them apply scientific concepts practically.
It is worth noting that "Musanada" program, which has supported many initiatives in previous years, targets Yemeni youth in the governorates of Taiz, Marib, Al-Mahra, Shabwa, Lahj, and the cities of Mukalla and Sayun in Hadhramaut. Its focus areas include education, economic empowerment, social cohesion, and mine clearance in Yemen.
Since the launch of "Musanada" program in 2022, Tawakkol Karman Foundation has funded six youth initiatives in the governorates of Taiz, Marib, Aden, and Hadhramaut. These initiatives have covered several areas, including education, art, the environment, and empowerment of people with disabilities.
