A home turned into a school
With little attention paid to state education, teacher Amira Al-Sabri turned her home, in a run-down building, into a literacy and learning centre for women. It is in the Al-Dhabab area of Taiz, in south-western Yemen.
Women travel long distances to reach the centre. As well as reading and writing, they learn handicrafts that help them earn a living and cope with the hardships of life in Yemen.
A call for support
Amira Al-Sabri, the teacher who runs the centre, has called on the authorities and organisations concerned to give it the support it needs, so that women can continue their education and gain the knowledge they need.
