Saudi Arabia to support education for Yemeni children
The project, in partnership with a local civil society organization, will directly benefit 6,833 people and indirectly reach 16,000 others, according to the report.
The agreement was signed via video conference by Ahmed Al-Baiz, KSrelief's assistant supervisor-general for operations and programs.
The project will include awareness campaigns promoting education — with a particular focus on encouraging school attendance among girls; the distribution of school bags, uniforms, and hygiene kits; the provision of psychological and social support, child protection services, and referral mechanisms; teacher training for volunteers; and the provision of materials for classrooms.
Selected classrooms will also be refurbished 'to improve the learning environment,' the SPA stated.
The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia's broader humanitarian efforts through KSrelief, with the aim of supporting education and protecting children in crisis areas, ensuring access to a safe and sustainable learning environment.

Training program in Asir focuses on traditional wall decoration
RIYADH: The Royal Institute of Traditional Arts, known as Wrth, in collaboration with Soudah Development Co., has opened registration for a specialized training program on Al-Qatt Al-Asiri art. This centuries-old art form, traditionally painted by women on the walls of homes in the Asir region, features murals with straight lines, triangles, circles, and squares. Al-Qatt Al-Asiri gained international recognition in 2017 when it was added to UNESCO's Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage, the Saudi Press Agency reported. Scheduled for July 27-31 in Asir, the program lets participants explore the history and aesthetics of Al-Qatt Al-Asiri, learning the traditional methods with geometric patterns and engravings inspired by the local environment. It also offers hands-on training in creating natural colors and mastering traditional techniques, the SPA added. The Arabic term 'qatt' means lines, carvings, or cuttings, and represents the detailed interior work done by women. Colors flow gracefully from their hands in a style known as qattatah, forming patterns based on the nature of the surface. Drawing inspiration from local culture, it showcases intricate geometric patterns reflecting the landscape and the vibrant colors of nature. Artisans use colors derived from limestone, clays, plants, or powders, prepared with stabilizers and gloss agents. Primary red, yellow, and blue are complemented by green, orange, white, and black.
