An implementation agreement has been signed for the Provision of Market-Relevant Livelihoods Training Project in Aden, Lahj, and Ta’iz between the Horizon Foundation for Development (HFD) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), with funding support from the Government of Japan and the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development.
This project comes within HFD’s vision to implement sustainable programs that build community resilience, promote self-reliance, and create long-term development solutions.
Amid the difficult humanitarian and economic conditions in Yemen, including rising unemployment, poverty, and limited job opportunities, such initiatives are essential to create real opportunities for youth and women.
The project targets 295 young men and women from vulnerable groups, including internally displaced persons, host communities, unemployed youth, and women with limited access to livelihood opportunities.
🔹 Training fields include:
⚡ Electrical work & solar energy
📱 Mobile phone maintenance
✂️ Sewing & beauty services
🍞 Food processing
🪚 Carpentry & plumbing
🔹 The project also provides:
✔️ Job readiness and employability skills
✔️ Entrepreneurship and small business skills
✔️ Financial literacy and self-reliance support
🔹 These projects will contribute to reducing unemployment and poverty, promoting self-reliance, creating sustainable economic opportunities, and supporting community stability.
Together, we build a better future with sustainable economic opportunities for youth and women in Yemen. 💙
