As part of the September 21st vision, the “Yemeni Fingers” exhibition enhances the presence of productive families and the local economy.
Within the framework of the development trends established by the September 21 Revolution, which aim to enhance reliance on local production and empower productive families, community and economic initiatives continue to support women and develop their productive capacities, in a way that contributes to strengthening the national economy and achieving self-sufficiency.
In this context, the “Yemeni Fingers” exhibition for productive families was opened in Nimran village in the New Sana’a district. It is organized by the Women’s Development Office in the district, with the participation of a number of productive families to display and market their diverse local products.
Support local production
During the opening of the exhibition, members of the Shura Council, Mahmoud Balghith, Abdulkhaliq Al-Mutawakkil, Saleh Binoun, Hashem Al-Saqqaf, Musleh Abu Shaar, and Hussein Wasel, along with the director of the directorate, Abdullah Al-Marouni, were briefed on the contents of the exhibition and the products it contained that were made and prepared by the participating families.
They stressed the importance of developing local products and enhancing their presence in the markets, as they are an important support for the national economy and a source that contributes to providing stable income opportunities for productive families, especially in light of the current economic challenges.
They pointed out that encouraging local products is one of the important paths in building a national economy that relies on self-reliance and capabilities, in line with the vision adopted by the September 21 Revolution to support local production and reduce dependence on foreign countries.
The role of women in development
The participants highlighted the vital role played by Yemeni women in developing local production and preserving industries and handicrafts, stressing that empowering women economically contributes to strengthening social stability and driving community development. They called on citizens to visit the exhibition and encourage productive families by purchasing the displayed products, which will enhance the continuity of these small projects and expand their scope.
Local products and creativity
For her part, the exhibition’s manager, Najoud Al-Nimrani, explained that the “Yemeni Hands” exhibition was held as part of supporting productive families and encouraging them to develop their projects, within the framework of the trend towards achieving self-sufficiency in local products in various fields.
She explained that the exhibition includes a wide range of food products, fabrics and embroidery, clothing, jewelry, detergents, models and artwork, which reflect the level of creativity and skill of the participating families.
A development path that enhances resilience
Organizing such exhibitions reflects a growing trend towards supporting community initiatives and small projects, as one of the development paths that contribute to strengthening economic resilience and enabling society to rely on its own capabilities.
These events also embody an aspect of the vision that places human development and support for local production at the forefront of priorities, as they are the basis for any sustainable economic and developmental renaissance.
