Through its Marginalized Groups & People with Disabilities Program, the foundation provides support for income-generating projects, small businesses, vocational opportunities, and other initiatives designed to strengthen economic independence and improve quality of life. By investing in people’s abilities and expanding access to opportunity, Tawakkol Karman Foundation seeks to promote social inclusion, strengthen participation, and help build more equitable communities where everyone has the chance to contribute and thrive.
