UNICEF Yemen Children face the future
Yemen is an ancient land. In the capital Saana, the historic district speaks to the countries strong faith and traditions. But to see the true nature of Yemen you need to head out into the countryside... where 80% of the population lives. It is a tough and uncompromising landscape... and a tough place to be born and to grow up. With 53 percent of the nation's children suffering from stunting, Yemen is a country with a serious under-nutrition crisis.Stunting affects children physically, but it also robs children of mental capacity, handicapping their future and the nation's potential. Children who are malnourished can be brought back to health, but a mind that is unfed can starve for a lifetime. Yemen's girls are often found here, rather than in school. Two thirds of women in Yemen are illiterate and UNICEF is working with the government to get girls into school to get a full education.
The training and recruitment of female teachers is bringing swift progression in some parts of Yemen.
