A project overview 1

Since 2011, and as a result of conflicts and wars between many parties in the Republic of Yemen many public and private buildings and citizens houses in all parts of Yemen have been destroyed totally or partially . These events caused many bad effects on the life of citizens economically and healthily and raised the rate of poverty and the need for shelter . Till now, there is no any entity or establishment carried out a study and a survey to find out and assess all the damages scientifically and systemically. The government should provide adequate shelters as it was adopted in the Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements held in Istanbul , Turkey 1996, and approved by the General Assembly.
In that conference they reaffirmed their commitment to the full and progressive realization of the right to adequate housing as provided for in international instruments. To that end, they shall seek the active participation of public, private and non-governmental partners at all levels to ensure, adequate housing for all persons and their families. As a result of natural and human-made disasters in many regions of the world the shelter crisis is aggravating. This requires from all parties at all levels to highlight the need for speedy solutions to the problem on a durable basis.
We , in Diaran, have charged ourselves with a mission to hold ourselves accountable to take typical steps working with concerned parties to reduce and minimize the burden and the suffering of people .The work is based on cooperative ,inclusive and common vision to reach to the goals of reconstruction project and introduce a successful experience in this field.
