Save the Children has been working in Yemen since 1963. We are the largest aid organization in the country and have been responding to the crisis in Yemen since 2015.
Since May 2015, we’ve reached more than 4 million children with lifesaving assistance and we continue to deliver vital programming.
We are treating children under five suffering from malnutrition and supporting health facilities in some of the hardest-to-reach areas. With up to 75% of schools destroyed in some areas, we’re also running temporary learning programs so children don’t miss out on an education.
For seven long years, children in Yemen have lived through a horrific war. Today, more than 24 million people—including 12.3 million children—need humanitarian assistance and protection.
The war has caused widespread hunger and poverty in Yemen, leaving millions of children malnourished. Already weakened health systems have been even further devastated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It's estimated that 16.2 million people in the country will face high levels of acute food shortages with an estimated 21,000 children at risk of falling into famine.
More than 2.2 million children in Yemen are out of school, vulnerable boys and girls are at risk of exploitation and abuse. Since the beginning of conflict, there have been at least 376 airstrikes against educational facilities in Yemen.
As the largest aid organization in Yemen, our teams are helping thousands of children get the vital care they need. But we need your help to continue.
• $50 can provide enough food to keep 3 children from going hungry for a month
• $150 can wrap 30 warm blankets around children affected by brutal conflict
• $300 can provide 150 face masks to health workers on the front lines
Your donation right now can help ensure that life-saving aid will be delivered to those growing up surrounded by war.
