WHO ARE WE?
Yahya Al-Mutawakel Foundation for Development and Culture
In conjunction with the tenth anniversary of the passing of our father Yahya Mohamed Almutawakel, may Allah’s mercy be upon him, and in line with his beliefs, ideals and principles to which he dedicated his life, it pleases me to announce the founding of “Yahya Almutawakel Foundation for Development and Culture, YADCF”, which aims to achieve my father’s vision to elevate Yemen and its ambitious people from poverty, instability and ignorance to knowledge, fortitude and prosperity.
The establishment of this foundation stems from the desire of his admirers to follow in his footsteps in contributing to a new, modern and united Yemen where democracy, justice, freedom, law and order abound.
Surely a strong nations is built not by complacency and passivity but rather by the sincerity, perseverance and hard work of its citizens who are not as much concerned by what their nations can do for them as what they can do for their nations. It is as such that nations prosper and flourish and build their great legacies.
