Saudi charities boost health, education projects in Yemen
Yemeni businessmen of Saudi origin and Saudi charities are having an impact on the health and education sectors in some of the poorest parts of Yemen, thanks to the various aid projects they fund.
Whereas previously they might have donated money for mosque-building, these groups have turned their attention to development projects, especially in the Hadhramaut, southeastern Yemen, where most of them hail from.
Established in 2006 by the sons of the founder of the Saudi Commercial Bank, Awon Development Foundation targets the poor through various projects.
