Yemen Noor Foundation for Education and Relief - Traditional Embroidered Clothing

Traditional Embroidered Clothing

Since YENOF began its embroidery programme, it has recorded many traditional embroidered items of clothing from different regions and periods. In 2019, thanks to the Cultural Protection Fund, our team followed computer and photography training to help us document these electronically. A selection can be seen below. These records are now being used during workshops and help our trainees realize the richness of Yemen's embroidery heritage and the importance of preserving it. They also helped us develop links with international institutions holding Yemeni embroidery.

YENOF in a Few Words

Yemen Noor Foundation for education and relief (YENOF), previously known as YERO, is a non-governmental organisation that was established in April 2003. It was set up to ensure access to education for children who drop out of school due to poverty.
In 2007, YENOF launched a parallel programme to help the children’s parents achieve self-sufficiency through mothers being included in sewing and embroidery workshops and interest free loans.
The embroidery programme quickly proved to be of great economic and social value. In 2019, it also was recognized for its cultural impact with workshops preserving and raising awareness of Yemen's rich and diverse embroidery and needle work heritage.
