Yasser was a simple worker at one of the Qamaria shops in Sana'a and was subject to ill-treatment and unfair pay. The days went by and things got worse, and the low wage he used to receive was unable to meet the basic needs of his family. Therefore, Yasser asked to raise his daily wage to a level that would be equivalent to his effort spent at work. Sadly, this was sufficient reason for the shop owner to dismiss Yasser from work immediately.

Yasser’s heart broke in half when seeing himself unable to provide basic life needs for his wife and children. It was the painful image of the helpless father that left unpleasant memories for his children. The memories that he worked hard all the past years to prevent them from happening, but they happened.

Despite the tragedy, there is always a glimmer of hope! Yasser heard that All Girls Foundation for Development (AGF) had a project to support craftsmen. After telling AGF what he had gone through, he got accepted to be one of the project beneficiaries by utilizing his skill to enter the labor market, and he was given ready samples of qamariat to copy them and prepare an order to 200 pieces. Thus, Yasser was eventually able to gain his own income from his own shop.

Yasser was honored at the opening ceremony of the campaign called "The Colors of the Qamariat Unite Us", which was launched by AGF in 2017, which was dedicated to reviving Yemeni handicrafts and increasing the income of families making such products, especially Qamariyat. AGF expressed at the ceremony its rejection of all kinds of abuse that the craftsmen are subjected to by the owners of the workshops. AGF also emphasized that workers had to be treated based on fair criteria such as transparency and adequate wages.
