In most Yemeni classrooms, students have to sit on the floor. For just £17 you can give a desk and chair so women attending literacy classes can give their studies their full attention.

Many women in Yemen have never been to school before, but have a great thirst for knowledge. And the best part is, your gift will really last - because whatever they learn in school can be passed on to their children too. Now that’s a great reason to pull up a chair!
