HUMAN ACCESS in Hadhramaut Governorate launched “My handicraft is my safety” program for orphans by organizing a training course on modern cooking for 10 orphans and mothers of orphans in the city of Mukalla.

A major objective of this training is to provide the beneficiaries with skills in the field of modern cooking so that they can enter the labor market and obtain a source of income in order to meet their basic needs and survive in the face of an increase in unemployment and poverty.

At the inauguration ceremony, Ahmed Bazarous, Director General of the Social Affairs and Labor office in coastal districts of Hadhramaut, stressed the importance of vocational and crafts training and rehabilitation for orphans who suffer from the lack of a breadwinner, and the need to qualify them with vocational skills in order to secure their minimum living needs.

He also thanked HUMAN ACCESS for this important program and its efforts in supporting the most vulnerable orphans in society.

Orphanhood is a double catastrophe in Yemen. Besides the catastrophe of losing the head of the family, another catastrophe is the existence of the orphans themselves trapped by the worst humanitarian and development crisis in the world.
