UNICEF Yemen: This is one of Yemen’s children
14-year-old Albara’a from Yemen has been displaced in Marib with his family since 2020.
He supports his family by selling mineral #water to pedestrians and car drivers, as his father and two of his siblings are disabled.
He goes to #school every day, carrying his disabled sister on his back all the way to school and back home.
Al-Bara and his sister study at a temporary learning space which is one of 181 learning places UNICEF created for the internally displaced children in Marib. Nine years post-conflict in Yemen, children’s learning struggles persist. Al-Bara’a hopes that he continues his education and one day he becomes a pilot. By 2023, UNICEF provided access to #education opportunities to 23,000 displaced children like Albara’a and his sister, Ibtikar, in Marib. In 2023, UNICEF supported 2 million children in Yemen, who benefitted from formal and non-formal education opportunities, learning materials, supplies and professional development of teachers. #Children in #yemen need peace to reach their full potential.
