As part of ongoing efforts to improve livelihoods and strengthen the resilience of conflict-affected communities, HUMAN ACCESS distributed livelihood grants to 123 of the most vulnerable families in six Yemeni governorates. This initiative falls under the project "Providing Livelihood Services for the Most Vulnerable Women and Girls in Yemen," funded by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).

In the presence of several local officials, the grants were distributed as follows: 13 grants in Aden Governorate, 14 in Mukalla City, Hadhramaut Governorate, 14 in Ataq City, Shabwa Governorate, 42 in Marib city and Al-Wadi districts, Marib Governorate, 13 in Al-Qahirah District, Taiz Governorate, and 27 in Al-Khawkhah and Hays districts, Hodeidah Governorate.

The distributed livelihood grants include essential supplies for entering the labor market and enhancing self-reliance. These grants cover various fields, including sewing and tailoring, hairdressing and beauty, pastry and confectionery, incense and perfume making, cooking, livestock breeding, and cheese making. These income-generating crafts and professions are among the most in-demand in the Yemeni labor market.

Prior to the distribution of these livelihood grants, the beneficiary women received high-quality professional training, equipping them with the necessary skills to begin practicing their chosen professions. This ensures optimal benefit from the grants and aims to empower them to launch their own businesses and achieve financial self-sufficiency for themselves and their families. The goal is to transform them into productive households capable of confronting the challenges and deteriorating living conditions in Yemen resulting from the ongoing conflict.
