1. Introduction:

The Youth Renaissance Organization for the Care of the Marginalized is pleased to present this report on the project to provide 320 meals to marginalized children under the title "Healthy Nutrition," implemented during the fourth quarter of 2024. This project aims to promote healthy nutrition and a healthy lifestyle for marginalized students and their families in Taiz Governorate.

2. Project Objectives:

• To provide 320 healthy meals to marginalized students regularly during the fourth quarter of 2024.
• To raise awareness about the importance of healthy nutrition among students and their families.
• To improve the health and nutritional status of the targeted students.

3. Implementation:

The Youth Renaissance Organization sought to expand the scope of the project by conducting an initial survey and establishing a preliminary database of marginalized students in Taiz Governorate. The number of registered marginalized students reached approximately 29,000, distributed across all districts of the governorate. The organization is currently developing an effective strategy to address this number.

In addition, the organization coordinated with the Education Cluster in the governorate and is working jointly with them to plan a project that includes both marginalized and non-marginalized students.

In 2025, the organization will launch additional projects through the GlobalGiving platform with the support and supervision of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Yemen, which expressed its commitment to supporting the organization's humanitarian projects after visiting its office in Taiz.

The organization also conducted a broad community awareness campaign in marginalized communities about the importance of psychological support for them and their student children. This campaign included activities designed by specialists and consultants. The organization is currently seeking to develop this strategy by attracting more support and applying what was learned from the Lightful Academy with support from GlobalGiving.

An agreement has also been reached with the War Child organization to expand the project and submit it to the European Union for consideration. It is currently under study.
