Project Yemen

Young girls in rural Yemen are sold off to men as wives for about $250. This is a common practice in war-torn Yemen, where more than 2/3 of girls under the age of 18, are already married. Many families struggle to fight off starvation and rely on aid from NGOs, which can be unreliable for families living outside the cities and in the villages.

Paying children and their parents enough money for one day's worth of food will encourage parents to send their children to school more often. While their is a minimum rate for attendance, payments can be greater for high achieving students. This will act as an incentive for children to do well at school.

Blockchain technology is the backbone of this project, and can be used for traditional means of distributing aid using tokens that families receive weekly, reducing wait times for aid.

Around the world, in many war-torn countries, education is overlooked. While this affects both boys and girls, it is more common for young girls, often crushing their dreams and aspirations.

Our solution is an attendance and marks form that each teacher fills out daily. Data is sent to the program, which then automatically sends payments to the parents, covering the family's meals for the day.

Young children are the target population of this project, including both young boys and girls. Constant communication between the teachers, students, and their parents, help modify and improve the project, including its methods.

Paying children and their families to go to school will put food on the table, and they will be encouraged to study more and chase their dreams. In order to build a nation, you must first build schools and universities, who will train and develop the new generation that will rebuild the country.
