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

Millions of families worldwide live in makeshift shelters — tents, corrugated iron shacks, or damaged buildings without roofs or walls. A permanent home transforms everything: children can study, families stay warm in winter, and dignity is restored.

For £2,500, we build a complete two-room home with a kitchen area, bathroom facilities, and proper roofing. Each home is constructed using durable local materials and is designed to withstand local weather conditions.

What Your Home Includes

  • Two-room structure with solid walls and roof
  • Kitchen area with basic facilities
  • Bathroom and sanitation
  • Doors, windows, and basic furnishing
  • Built to local standards for durability

Building a home is a powerful form of Sadaqah Jariyah — the family will benefit for decades, and you continue earning rewards for as long as the home stands.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise." (Bukhari) — Scholars extend this principle to building homes for those in need.

My children were malnourished. The food packs you sent saved their lives.
