With funding from the@ Education Cannot Wait (ECW) and in partnership with the @Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Nahda Makers Organization (NMO) is implementing rehabilitation and renovation works in targeted schools across Taiz and Al Hudaydah governorates.
The project aims to improve the learning environment and create safe, supportive, and conducive schools that enable students and educational staff to continue the educational process under better and more stable conditions.
The project targets eight schools across the districts of Dhubab and Al Mokha in Taiz Governorate, and Al Khawkha and Hays in Al Hudaydah Governorate. The targeted schools include: Al Fatah School, Al Amal School, Martyr Mohammed Ali School, Al Salam Al Gharafi School, 22 May Complex School, Al Noor School, Al Wahda School, and Abu Al Qasim School.
The project includes a comprehensive package of construction and rehabilitation interventions, including the rehabilitation and renovation of 69 classrooms across the eight schools, the construction of five additional classrooms in Al Khawkha and Hays districts, and the rehabilitation of 57 school latrines designed to be gender-sensitive and accessible for students with disabilities, thereby enhancing safety and inclusivity within the school environment.
The works also include the rehabilitation and installation of safe water points and the connection of schools to water networks, in addition to the supply and installation of solar power systems in four schools. The project will also provide school and office furniture, as well as student desks and chairs, contributing to improved educational services and a more conducive and sustainable learning environment.
All works are scheduled to be completed before the start of the new academic year, ensuring that schools are fully prepared to receive students and resume classes in a safe and appropriate learning environment.
This project comes as part of ongoing efforts to support the education sector and improve school infrastructure, contributing to increased access to safe and quality education for children in the targeted areas.
