PWP has made significant contributions to the education sector, covering all regions of Yemen in rural and urban areas- achieving a positive impact on the advancement of the education sector.

During the current period, interventions include projects for the rehabilitation of schools - the majority of which have been decommissioned as they had been used as shelters, or due to neglect and lack of maintenance. The rehabilitation of these schools has revived the educational sector in many areas of Yemen.

PWP’s interventions to rehabilitate tens of schools in all parts of the country restored hopes for thousands of students at different educational levels, encouraged students to continue their education and to regularly attend their classes. In implementing these subprojects, PWP succeeded in ensuring continuity of the educational process and enabled schools to perform their educational mission.
