The interim capital of Aden today hosted a meeting between the regional director of Save the Children International and the Yemeni Minister of Social Affairs and Labor. The meeting focused on the organization's program implementation following its decision to relocate its main office from Sana'a, which is under the control of the Houthi group (internationally designated as a terrorist organization). Save the Children is the first international organization to take this step.

During the meeting, Minister al-Zao'ri commended Save the Children's decision to move its operations to Aden and close its Sana'a office. Discussions with the regional director centered on "completing the training of social workers on the updated case management system guide, which was previously implemented in the governorates of Aden, Lahj, and al-Dhale, while emphasizing the need to expand the program to include the rest of the governorates," according to Yemeni news agency Saba.

Save the Children describes itself as a British non-governmental organization dedicated to improving the lives of children worldwide. The organization implements a wide range of programs and interventions across the globe, including providing food assistance, clean water access, and improving educational infrastructure.
The organization's Yemen country office recently transferred its operations from Sana'a to Aden, citing violations committed by the Houthis against international organizations, including the abduction of numerous staff members, some of whom worked for UN agencies. The recognized Yemeni government has repeatedly called on international organizations to relocate their headquarters to Aden.
