UAE's ERC opens school in Yemen's Hadhramaut

HADHRAMAUT, 28th August, 2017 (WAM) -- The Emirates Red Crescent, ERC, today opened the Shu'abat School in Adh Dhlia'ah District in Hadhramaut, Yemen, after being refurbished and equipped with the necessary furnishing, as part of the UAE's ongoing efforts to support the vital sectors in Yemen, including the education sector.

During a ceremony attended by the directorate officials and residents, Shawki al-Tamimi, ERC supervisor in Hadhramaut, inspected the equipment provided to the school.

Ahmed Al-Neyadi, Head of the ERC team in Hadhramaut, emphasised the importance of the project and the educational role played by the school in the region, since it helps prevent many children from dropping out of school, and is in line with UAE's effort to support education in Yemen.

Officials at the Adh Dhlia'ah District extended their thanks and appreciation to the UAE and its humanitarian assistance, represented by the ERC, for supporting and rehabilitating local and government institutions in Hadhramaut.
