Yemen is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. After more than a decade of conflict, 18 million people are experiencing food insecurity — and entire families are going whole days without a single meal.
The scale of suffering is staggering: 2.5 million children are facing malnutrition, 19.5 million people need urgent healthcare, and Yemen's health system has all but collapsed under the weight of years of conflict and disease outbreaks. Without intervention, the gap between life and death for many families is razor thin.
Your Yemen donation fills that gap. Human Appeal's local teams are on the ground right now — delivering food parcels for iftar and suhoor, treating malnourished babies and mothers, and restoring access to clean water and healthcare. Learn more about our work in Yemen or explore how you can give your Zakat to those most in need.
Our field teams are already working across Yemen — from Sana'a to Aden, from Taiz to Hajjah — ensuring your donation reaches the people who need it most, quickly and transparently.
Step 1: We identify the most urgent need
Our local teams rigorously assess and verify need on the ground, prioritising the most vulnerable — malnourished children, displaced families, and communities without clean water or healthcare.
Step 2: We source and prepare aid locally
Where possible, we source food and supplies locally, supporting Yemeni communities and reducing distribution time.
Step 3: We deliver within days
Emergency projects — including malnutrition treatment and disease outbreak response — move quickly and efficiently.
Step 4: We sustain impact beyond the short term
Our medium and long-term projects — clean water networks, livelihoods support, healthcare services — continue throughout the year, often for many years, building a more resilient future for Yemeni families.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The best of men are the men of Yemen, belief is Yemeni, and I am Yemeni."
Hadith Ahmad
Health & Medical
In Yemen, thousands are living in preventable darkness. Cataracts have stolen their sight — and with it, their independence, their work, their ability to see their children's faces. £160 funds the diagnosis and surgery that gives someone back the world. One donation. One life transformed. Give the gift of sight.
Water and Sanitation
Contaminated water is one of Yemen's silent killers. Cholera spreads through communities already broken by conflict and hunger, taking lives that clean water could have saved. You can help rehabilitate water networks, giving people a safe, reliable source of clean water for years to come. Be the reason a family stays healthy.
Food Security
For a Yemeni family of 7, a daily meal isn't a given — it's a lifeline. £57 provides fresh bread and yoghurt every day for a month, so a family can fight against their hunger.
Health & Medical
A mother in Yemen shouldn't have to watch her child suffer from an illness that could have been caught and treated in time. £48 provides six mothers or their children with vital health screening and treatment — giving families a fighting chance against preventable disease in a country where healthcare has all but collapsed.
Livelihoods
The most lasting gift isn't just food — it's the means to grow your own. £15 provides a Yemeni family with coffee tree seedlings, fertiliser, pipes, a water tank and farming equipment. It's the beginning of a livelihood. The first step toward self-sufficiency. A future built with their own hands.
Child Welfare & Orphans
In Yemen, conflict has left hundreds of thousands of children without parents. They don't just need food — they need someone who shows up, month after month, year after year. For £40 a month or £480 a year, you become that person. You provide food, clothing, healthcare and education to a child who has lost everything. And because our Yemen orphan sponsorship is Zakat-eligible, every payment fulfils a pillar of your faith while securing a future for a child. Twelve months of blessings. One child given hope.
Your donation funds a range of life-saving and life-changing work — from emergency food parcels and malnutrition treatment to clean water projects and healthcare. Our local teams in Yemen select recipients based on the most urgent need, and we report back transparently each year on the impact of your gift.
Yes. Many of our Yemen appeal projects are eligible for Zakat, including food aid, malnutrition treatment, and emergency support. If you'd like to give your Zakat, you can do so here. If you're unsure whether a specific project qualifies, please contact us.
Emergency projects — such as treatment for malnutrition or disease outbreak response — are deployed as quickly as possible by our on-the-ground teams across Yemen.
Beyond emergency aid, we run long-term programmes including rehabilitation of clean water networks, livelihood support such as coffee farming equipment, orphan sponsorship, and healthcare services including cancer screening and neonatal care — helping Yemeni families rebuild their futures.
Human Appeal is committed to providing aid in the country or programme that you select. In the event we complete the programme, exceed the required funds, or are denied access to a particular country for reasons beyond our control, Human Appeal reserves the right to reallocate your donation to another programme where it is needed most.
