providing essential food aid in yemen

The collection for Yemeni Food Aid is ongoing all year round. Our first distribution was in early 2016 and we try to send funds every 2-3 months. As the areas we cover expanded and the number of families on file grew, we had to increase our efforts.

We now provide for around two-thirds of the families we have on file for each distribution so we rotate the families receiving aid.

As almost everyone is poor, we prioritize orphaned families, followed by the poorest and most in need when giving aid.

Our goal is to send Rm 275, 000 (+/-US$ 71,000) so that we are able to provide to all of the families we have listed.

Food aid consists of staple food eg. Rice, flour, cooking oil, sugar, salt, milk, tomato paste, pasta, beans (we hope the food can last each family at least one month but for larger families, they probably have to ration their food intake).

Alhamdullilah, we currently have 12 teams who distribute the food aid in 5 governates – Sanaa, Hudaydah, Rayma, Hajah, and soon Taiz In shaa Allah.
