Due to the urgent need to expand the cemeteries of Tarim city in  Hadramout Valley, Al-Wedad Foundation for Development launched the project of great  expansion of Zanbal cemetery  in Tarim  – Hadramout. This need was  because of  the large number of population in the city and the surrounding  villages,   the arrival of displaced people from some Yemeni governorates as a result of current situation in the country, the  recent return of some immigrants from abroad ,  and the small area of those cemeteries,

This project is to be carried out together with benefactors who contribute in serving  the country  with sort of charitable and developmental projects.  The land area of this project is 9323 square meters and it is located southeast the existing cemetery. The total price of the land is about SR1,600,00 ($423,000). The number of shares is 32 and the value of each share is $13,230.  The estimated duration to implement the project  is about 6  months at various stages .

The  supervising  committees  of the project  began  field visits to the site to collect statistics and provide  public evaluations  about the project, and according to which the land of the project was bought. The operational and implementation   work of the project began on 18th Rabi al-Thani 1440 (15th December 2019).  The beginning was by building  the stone foundation with a height of two meters and a half [one meter below ground level + one meter and a half above ground level]. This stage of the project was completed  and the next stages continued until the completion of the final stage.

The management of the Foundation  extends its sincere thanks to all contributors and benefactors for their kind initiative and generous donation to achieve this charitable and humanitarian work.
