Taiz is a city on the South West coast of Yemen, nestled amongst the Yemeni Highlands. Renowned for its coffee and architecture, the city has effectively been under siege since the outbreak of the Yemeni Civil War in 2015, with regular reports emerging of food, water and medical supply shortages.
Earlier this year, Intouch Global Foundation donated food and grain supplies to local communities in Taiz and have now pledged to fund the restoration of the local school that has fallen into a state of deep disrepair.
The project will initially focus on the overhaul of three classrooms, paving the way to providing a safe place for the basic education of the local population which includes around 400 children.
