Change a Life with Dip'n Date
This Ramadan, when you support Dip'n Date you can also support families in dire need in Yemen.
With families facing ongoing armed conflict, displacement, disease and economic decline, an estimated 24 million people (80% of the country’s population) are now in need of humanitarian aid to survive – a figure so high that it is in fact the highest across the globe.
Families and communities have been torn apart and left without even the most basic of living essentials:
12 million Yemen children are in need of food, water, shelter and medicine
Almost 18 million people lack access to basic healthcare
Over 3 million people have been left displaced by conflict and violence
Together we can make a difference.
Islamic Relief's Yemen Crisis Appeal
Islamic Relief has been working in Yemen since 1998 and is currently on the ground in 17 of the country’s 22 governorates, delivering aid to many hard-to-reach areas. Our country office is in the capital, Sana’a, and we have eight sub-offices in Dhamar, Amran, Aden, Taiz, Hodeida, Saada, Maarib and Rymah.
We remain on the ground throughout the year, long after the cameras leave, providing essential food aid to families at risk of famine and those facing extensive food insecurity.
We staff more than 315 national and international employees dedicated to providing disaster relief and aid in the country’s most troubled areas. Beyond our primary focus of delivering lifesaving emergency aid, Islamic Relief works on early recovery and development projects, including the likes of child welfare programs, orphan sponsorship, safe hygiene practices, livelihood opportunities, and so much more.
We’ve also supported 167 health facilities across the country to enable doctors and nurses working to treat wounded, sick and malnourished people. We have also been working to support children through child protection and psycho-social support activities.
In light of the impending famine, we’re continuing to distribute food packs and essential food vouchers to provide critical aid to families in need. However, we need your help to reach as many people as possible and widen our response.
