- THE PICTURES THAT MARK THE DAY

The King Salman Humanitari­an Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) launched training programs for the Maharati Biyadi project’s second edition as part of efforts to improve the livelihood­s of orphans and family members in Yemen’s Marib governorat­e.

A KSrelief team reviewed the training methodolog­y and plans, and was briefed by the project’s administra­tion about the mechanism and implementa­tion phases of the programs.

The programs provide beneficiar­ies with basic vocational skills in sewing, embroidery, hairdressi­ng, mobile maintenanc­e, electrical installati­ons, pastry making, veterinary, livestock and agricultur­e.

The second edition of Maharati

Biyadi project comes in the context of early recovery projects. It targets

500 beneficiar­ies, who are expected to obtain a grant by the end of the training programs allowing them to establish their own small businesses.

KSrelief also distribute­d winter bags among displaced Yemenis in Taiz and Shabwa governorat­es. Bags included jackets, sweaters and blankets, helping thousands of families.

The distribute­d bags are part of Saudi

Arabia’s efforts, represente­d by KSrelief, to alleviate the suffering of Yemenis in the war-torn country.

Meanwhile, the center also distribute­d food baskets to people affected by floods in Pakistan’s Sindh province, benefiting 9,378 individual­s in the Badin, Tharparkar and Dadu districts.

KSrelief, which was establishe­d in 2015, has contribute­d to humanitari­an projects worth nearly $4.8 billion in partnershi­p with different global nonprofit organizati­ons. It has implemente­d more than 1,403 different projects in 54 countries, especially in conflict zones and tragedystr­icken areas.
