The local “Yanabi’ Al-Khair” Foundation, which is implementing the project, said in a press statement that the village, which also bears the name “Al-Khaireen 5,” includes 30 housing units, each consisting of two rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and an equipped hall, with the delivery of small projects to the beneficiary families of the affected and orphans to provide suitable housing and stability factors.

The statement added that the village project included the establishment of a primary school with 6 classrooms and an administrative office with furnishing, distributing school bags, books, and school uniforms for students, building an integrated mosque with its facilities and equipment, and a health unit equipped with the necessary devices and supplies to provide basic services to the villagers.

It pointed out that the project included the implementation of an integrated water project and providing all the village’s facilities with solar energy systems to provide energy in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. For his part, the Director General of Al-Mokha District, Sultan Mahmoud, praised in a press statement during the opening ceremony the humanitarian efforts made by the Al-Najat Charitable Society, stressing the importance of these projects in improving the conditions of Yemeni citizens and alleviating their suffering.

He expressed his hope that this village would be the beginning of a series of development projects that contribute to improving the quality of life and services for beneficiaries, especially in the areas of the West Coast, which suffer from difficult humanitarian conditions that require more efforts. In turn, the Chairman of the Yanabi Al-Khair Foundation, which is implementing the project, Tawfiq Al-Babaei, said that this village represents a model of the generosity of the Kuwaiti people and their wise leadership.

He added that this village is the second to be opened during the current January after the opening of the village of Al-Khairin 9 in Lahj Governorate, explaining that the opening of the two villages comes within a series of housing projects that will be opened soon in various regions of Yemen as part of the Al-Khairin Villages campaign aimed at providing decent housing, basic facilities, and a decent living for affected and needy Yemeni families. He expressed his appreciation to the Al-Najat Charity Association for its great support to the Yemeni people in various governorates through its projects in all development and relief fields. - KUNA
