The project to feed 320 male and female students for marginalized students is a project that was launched by the Al Nahda Youth Foundation in 2022, and is still ongoing. It aims to provide healthy and balanced nutritional meals for marginalized students, both male and female, in three areas in Taiz Governorate - Yemen. The most vulnerable areas are considered the areas of the marginalized, as they They suffer from poverty, hunger, marginalization and discrimination in education. The project targets 320 male and female students on a daily basis from various primary classrooms, and continues for a full academic year.
The project was not limited to distributing meals only, but also included organizing awareness and educational workshops for parents, teachers, and students about the importance of proper nutrition, mental health, and dealing with bullying and school violence. The project also participated in solving some of the problems facing the targeted students, such as providing school supplies, school uniforms, and transportation to schools.
The project, in the recent period at the beginning of the new academic year, achieved amazing results in improving the situation of marginalized male and female students. The attendance rate increased to 65%, the dropout rate decreased to 30%, educational results improved by 40%, and the level of self-confidence and belonging to school increased by 30%. . Here are some graphs that illustrate these results
One of the students’ testimonies about the success of the project is the testimony of Afnan Ali Naji, a student at Al-Najah School, who said: “I hated studying and school and I hated the color of my skin last year because of the bullying and inferiority I was exposed to, and now this new year the situation has become different in the school in terms of treatment.” And I began to feel something strange. I felt confident in myself, and even my family began to care about my cleanliness and appearance. I love my school, I love the Nahda Youth Organization, which changed my life, and I love the supporters of the Nahda Youth Organization.”
The project is still continuing to provide its services to marginalized students, male and female, and seeks to expand its scope to include more regions and schools in Yemen. The project needs financial and moral support from donors, partners and volunteers to complete its successful journey.
