Al-Hamzah School, Yemen

Taiz is a city on the South West coast of Yemen, nestled amongst the Yemeni Highlands, and, since the outbreak of the Yemeni Civil War in 2015, is effectively under siege.

In 2019, IGF donated food and grain supplies to local communities in Taiz, then pledged to fund the restoration of the local school that has fallen into a state of deep disrepair.

The project initially focused on the overhaul of three classrooms, paving the way to providing a safe place for the basic education of the local population. Work continues to improve facilities and to develop educational links for the estimated 400 children in the community.
