FFNI Bespoke Empowerment Project:
Women from Yemen Join the 21st Century
During a recent time of horrific civil unrest in Yemen, a small group of Jews managed to escape. They’re very different from most new immigrants coming to Israel today; in fact they are almost straight from the ancient past. Having lived in a primitive third world country and leading a sheltered, ultra-traditional lifestyle, 40 very special women embarked on a life-changing mission by participating in our Empowerment Project.
They had never attended any educational system and had a complete lack of the basic skills necessary to survive in daily modern life. They were illiterate — unable to read, write, understand numbers, or operate technology. By understanding their way of life, we were able to design a program to assist them in becoming self-sufficient. The program offered Hebrew lessons, life-skills learning and a professional sewing course. 
The program was received with great enthusiasm and joy by the women and was successful beyond our expectations.
We have since initiated a second round in order to include more women in this life empowering process.
