New Begginings - PHY IV

Adra Yemen in Hais is proud to introduce a new chapter in its history, the Assistance to Physically Challenged Programme 2009-2010 (PHY IV). The program will continue the 2006-2009 agenda, which targets the physically challenged by raising awareness, physiotherapy sessions, vocational training, micro loans, and providing access to health facilities by covering patients treatment and rehabilitation. The program also wants to add to its portfolio a new adult literacy / microloans initiative, and a new training program which will target family members of physically challenged individuals.

PHY IV is also proud to introduce its new program manager, Alan Delmonte. Alan is originally from the Dominican Republic, but later on moved to the United States where he completed a Bachelor in Arts majoring in Finance from Manhattanville College, and a Masters in Public Health from Boston University. He also brings a wide range of experience from working in the financial sector in New York, where he worked in companies such as MBIA, Northwestern mutual, and the Winter Group. He later on moved to the public sector and worked with several NGO's in Boston and the Dominican Republic, working in companies such as John Snow, Inc and MSH, where he carried out his duties as Administrative Associate and Financial Associate.

Everyone in the ADRA Hais staff is very happy to begin this new chapter in our history, and we look forward to expand our services in the Hodeidah Governorate.
