Since its founding, Stichting Albait Alyemeni was built on a simple yet powerful idea: that you can be a citizen of two homelands at the same time. To carry Yemen in your heart while building your life in the Netherlands is not a contradiction — it is a dual richness.
The difficult beginning — "The first thing I did when I arrived was look for a Yemeni community," says one of our founders. "I didn't find one, so we created one." From that determination, Albait Alyemeni was born.
