The children, including five members of the marginalized Akhdam community, arefrom Amran and Taiz and had arrested by the army in previous fighting.

The sponsor of the rehabilitation is King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid and this is the second stage of the rehab program. The first phase rehabilitated the same number of children from Marib and Aljawf.

The children's parents were educated about the hazards of child recruitment to armed participations in conflicts.
