The Adequate Housing Project was concluded today as a result of a tripartite partnership between the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY), Alwaleed Philanthropies “Global”, and UN-HABITAT, aimed at enhancing the living conditions of families in the Aden Governorate.

A ceremony was held at SDRPY’s headquarters in Riyadh to commemorate the occasion, attended by Her Royal Highness Princess Lamia bint Majed AlSaud, Secretary General of Alwaleed Philanthropies; Dr. Waed Badeeb, the Yemeni Minister of Planning and International Cooperation; H.E.

Salem Al-Harizi, Minister of Public Works and Roads in Yemen; Ms. Rania Hedeya, the UN-Habitat Region Representative for the Regional Office of Arab States; and Dr. Erfan Ali, Chief of Staff at UN-Habitat.

This project, the first of its kind in Yemen's housing sector, aimed to provide safe living conditions for families by rehabilitating damaged homes in the Mualla and Khormaksar districts of the Aden Governorate. A total of 650 houses were rehabilitated through this project, including structural repairs, resulting in a better future for more than 4,500 Yemenis.

Moreover, the Adequate Housing Project has contributed to job creation and the development of skills in housing, construction, and building through training workshops, thereby enhancing the impact of this project on promoting community stability and sustainable development.
