Alwaleed Philanthropies “Global” supports Mustaqbal Project to train 660 Yemeni students in collaboration with the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen and EFE

The Mustaqbal project is a collaborative effort between the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY), Alwaleed Philanthropies “Global”, and Education for Employment (EFE) aimed at implementing a demand-driven training initiative in Yemen. With a focus on empowering the country's youth, this project aims to provide valuable skills and opportunities for a brighter future.

The Mustaqbal project has set ambitious goals to support 500 students through the implementation of EFE's core programs: the Job Placement Training Program, the Self-Employment Training Program, and the Pathways to a Job Training Program. By offering comprehensive training and mentorship, the project aims to equip students with the necessary tools to succeed in the job market and foster economic growth.

The project commenced in 2023 and is scheduled to continue until 2025. It is primarily based in Aden, Yemen, where it addresses the urgent need for vocational training and employment opportunities.

Remarkable progress has been made in enrolling students and providing them with essential training. To date, a total of 710 students have been enrolled in all three programs, representing a significant commitment to empowering Yemeni youth.
