The Hadhramout Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing the education of young people from Yemen. Through scholarships, schools, language training, and vocational programs, we're building the foundation for a brighter future.
We were established to increase the number of sponsored young people by partnering with universities, philanthropic organizations, corporations, and humanitarian-minded people around the world.
We want to provide access to and support for all levels of education in Yemen: Secondary Schools, Language Training (Both in Yemen and Globally), Technical and Vocational Training, Scholarships to Universities Globally.
The idea for the Hadhramout Foundation began with a visit by a group of friends to their familial homeland. They saw a land of great human potential but very little educational support. In order to tap into that unrealized resource and assist with the rebirth of the Hadhramout region, they initiated backing for many facets of the educational framework that needed aid, enhancement, or change. This included building and funding boys' and girls' schools, English language academies, vocational training, and scholarships for all qualified students to attend universities.
By improving educational opportunities, we believe that we can improve living conditions as well as employment prospects in Hadhramout and Yemen at large. The ultimate goal is to provide these young people with the knowledge and skills needed to support them in the rebuilding and development of their homeland. What we ask in return is for all students to give a year back to Yemen for every academic year that the foundation has granted them. It's our only stipulation, but we understand it's a big one. The premise is simply built on a 'paying it forward' approach.
Your support transforms lives and rebuilds communities. Every contribution helps another young person from Yemen pursue their education and dreams.
