The current study aimed to identify the benefits of community support programs launched by non-governmental organizations to women in Taiz Governorate. Data were collected using a paper-based structured questionnaire administered to 300 women targeted by NGO projects, distributed across three directorates. A significant negative correlation was found between education and the benefits received by women. Whereas occupation, geographical openness, sources of information, and organizational participation showed a significantly positive correlation with women's benefits. Moreover, education level, geographical and cultural openness significantly influenced the benefits from NGOs. Therefore, it is suggested that community support programs should be launched in the future to improve women's skills and abilities.
