About Yemen

Yemen is experiencing the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with over 21.6 million people — two-thirds of the entire population — needing assistance. Years of conflict have destroyed infrastructure, collapsed the healthcare system, and pushed millions to the brink of famine. Only half of health facilities remain functional, and those that operate face chronic shortages of medicine and equipment. Over 17.4 million Yemenis are food insecure, with 5 million at emergency levels. Children bear the heaviest burden — 11.3 million need humanitarian assistance, and malnutrition rates are among the highest in the world. Clean water is scarce, with damaged water infrastructure leaving millions dependent on unsafe sources. Cholera and other waterborne diseases remain constant threats. The economic collapse has left millions without income, unable to afford even basic food items at inflated market prices. Our local Yemeni partners have maintained operations throughout the crisis, delivering food packs, clean water, and emergency supplies to the most vulnerable communities.

Delivery Method: We work with experienced local Yemeni partners who can navigate the complex operating environment to reach vulnerable communities.

Why This Matters

There are over 140 million orphans worldwide, many in conflict zones where they face exploitation, child labour, and denial of basic rights. Orphan sponsorship provides a lifeline — covering education fees, school supplies, healthcare, nutritious meals, and emotional support through dedicated social workers.

When you sponsor an orphan, you are paired with a specific child. You receive regular updates including photos, school reports, and progress summaries. Your sponsorship ensures they can attend school instead of working, receive medical care when sick, and grow up with dignity.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) held up his index and middle fingers together and said: "I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be like these two in Paradise." (Bukhari)
