In order to develop and upgrade the capabilities of people with low incomes and create job opportunities, and within the context of the Economic Empowerment Program, HUMAN ACCESS - the woman and child sector - was able to execute 38 income-generating projects in Marib Governorate during last July.

Selection criteria

The beneficiary families were selected according to specific criteria related to the social and economic conditions, and the capabilities and skills required to manage the project by the poor and most vulnerable families.

Income-generating projects change families’ lives

The income-generating projects included the supply of 16 sewing machines, 8 clothing stores, 4 incense and perfumes, 4 ovens and pastry-making supplies, a vegetable stand, electrical tools selling, a motorbike, hair accessories for women and children, coiffure, and a laptop for designing and advertising. The total beneficiaries of these projects amounted to 35 poor families residing in Marib governorate.

All these projects are designed to transform poor and low-income families into productive families.
