Butterflies Batch, a group of 20 female artists who paint on glass, graduated from IMPACT Institute on June 5. After the graduation party, the artists held an exhibition in which they displayed and marketed their work. This type of project is the first of its kind in Yemen. “We gained the skills of such art by way of self-study,” said glass painting trainer Maisun Hussein.

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training, IMPACT Institute for Women’s Development conducted a graduation ceremony and glass exhibition of the “Women Drawing Glass” diploma project funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
