From beneath the piles of destruction and devastation, a ray of hope emerges, and light shines to fill the earth with light, paints a beautiful dream for a generation looking for its future amid war.

Khawla school in Dahyan district, Sa'ada governorate was completely destroyed after being bombed by planes at the beginning of the war, thin to displaced students and teachers in search of any place that could bring them together to resume some of their lessons and many of them dropped out of school.

It is war, and nothing else. It has deprived millions of Yemeni children of their education, and it has also demolished thousands of their schools, and migration with their teachers to a better reality and perhaps an unknown future remains uncertain.
