The Public Works Project (PWP), gives priority to women engineers to work in the field as supervising engineers for construction works in implemented projects. The move has left a huge impact in improving the living standards of their families, especially under the current crises which has cast a negative impact on working women, students, and homemakers.

The success of the PWP in its support for Yemeni women engineers has been proven in the way these engineers have improved their economic and living situations. The PWP has contracted single mothers who are the only supporters for their families. Engineer Safa al-Duhaish is one example. When she lost her husband, she took over the responsibility for caring for her three children.
