Abdullah Mohammed Yassin
Project Co-ordinator
Abdullah has a wealth of experience, a long-standing and most critical team member who has been with ADRA since the inception in 1995. He co-ordinates the ADRA Hais project and as a well known and respected person in the community, Abdullah acts as a link with the local authority, the Hais City Council. He is also the rehabilitation and physiotherapist for male patients, providing supervision to Rita and Fatma. Abdullah forms part of the management team and a critical part of the office/clinic and in the wider community of Hais and Khoka. Ms Fernandez the Program Manager says “he is a pillar of ADRA Yemen”
Educated in Hais, Abdullah was born in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and returned to Hais where he attended secondary school and then went on to earn a Diploma in Science at Taiz University. He is 41, married and has 4 children. Although his family is traditional, his wife does allow Abdullah to cook meals!
Abdullah started with ADRA when they opened the Hais office in 1995. ADRA originally provided a car, equipment and computers to the management of the program carried out by a local organization Al Mustataqbal. From 2001 ADRA conducted their own management, directly employed it’s team of people and operated from the building they currently occupy. Over the years there have been a number of ADRA programs Abdullah has been involved with such as Landmines Victims Assistance, Womens Literacy, Drug Revolving Fund, Vitamin A and Iron Project for women, Primary Health Care, City Water System, Polio immunization etc.
ADRA has been in Hais for a long period and this has been a huge benefit to the community. It is true that there is a City Council that is responsible for the community but they are poor and not able to provide needs such as health. The council has relied on ADRA and has not been inclined to change. However to avoid dependency, the City Council needs to gradually take control of services in the future and raise the funds needed, locally from taxes.
Apart from his desire to learn English, Abdullah’s hopes for the future are simply that life will be better especially for his children’s generation with better education and health care. He hopes that his children will study and become professionals or engineers, ultimately helping the community to progress. ADRA is an essential social service that has significantly helped the Hais community to achieve their dreams and he hopes that this will continue.
