History and Background

Our Organization

SOUL is the brainchild of a dedicated group of Yemeni professionals who recognized the need to assist the women and children of Yemen, in the health, education and social development fields. The Society was officially established in February 1997 and is licensed and operating in the Republic of Yemen.  Our headquarters is located in Sana’a, the capital city.
