228,470 Yemeni children (46 percent girls) benefited In the first six months of 2025 from quality learning opportunities through basic education initiatives supported by The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), according to a report published by UNICEF.
The report noticed that despite the hardships they've endured, Yemen's young people are yearning for a better future.
Among the millions of people in Yemen who have been displaced after a decade of conflict and collapse, Thirteen-year-old Kholoud, who’s father died during the war, dreams of living in a peaceful place filled with green trees someday, a place where there aren't any power outages.
She and her mother live in an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Marib governorate, where there is a temporary learning space supported by UNICEF.
"One of the biggest challenges I face in the camp is the long distance to school," Kholoud says. "When I go, it is usually cold and windy, and there is no electricity, which sometimes makes it impossible for me to study or complete my homework." “My dream is to become a journalist and photographer to share the struggles of life in the camp” she said.
