Investing in education, school rehabilitation, inclusive learning environments, teacher training, life skills, and community resilience.
After more than a decade of conflict, millions of children and families in Yemen continue to face disruptions to education, livelihoods, and essential services. Yet communities across the country continue to demonstrate resilience, determination, and hope for the future.
War Child Canada works alongside local partners, educators, families, and community leaders to help children and young people access safe, inclusive learning opportunities and build the skills they need to thrive. Our approach combines education, wellbeing, protection, and community resilience to support long-term recovery in conflict-affected communities.
How We Work
War Child Canada’s programming in Yemen focuses on creating safe and supportive environments where children can learn, grow, and reach their potential.
Our work includes:
- Improving access to quality education through school rehabilitation and learning support
- Creating safe, inclusive learning environments for girls, boys, and children with disabilities
- Training teachers in child-centred learning approaches, life skills, and child protection
- Supporting children’s wellbeing through integrated protection and psychosocial approaches
- Strengthening community resilience through locally led partnerships and sustainable solutions
By addressing barriers to learning while supporting children’s wellbeing, we help communities create stronger foundations for the future.
Education That Reaches Beyond the Classroom
Education is one of the most effective tools for helping children recover from the impacts of conflict. War Child supports schools with improved infrastructure, learning materials, teacher training, and safe spaces where children can learn with dignity and confidence. Our approach recognizes that learning outcomes improve when children feel safe, supported, and included. This includes creating gender-sensitive facilities, improving accessibility for children with disabilities, and integrating life skills into the learning experience.
Building Resilience Through Local Partnerships
Local leadership is at the heart of our work in Yemen. By partnering with local organizations, educators, and communities, we help ensure programs are responsive to local needs and sustainable over the long term. Together, we are helping children and young people build resilience, continue their education, and create pathways toward brighter futures.
