#Hearts4Humanity

The Cause

The crisis in Yemen has become known as the "forgotten war." According to the United Nations, 21 million Yemenis ( 80 % of population ) are in urgent need for humanitarian assistance.

• Yemen is in a critical situation and has been suffering long before the transition in leadership in 2011.

• Approximately 7 million people are severely malnourished. About 1.5 million children in Yemen suffer from malnutrition, and at least 370,000 of them are severely malnourished.

• The destruction of infrastructure and hospitals have led to the deprivation of life-sustaining commodities.

The Plan

MAS Youth Detroiters aim to mobilize the community towards understanding, empathy, and solidarity with our Yemeni brothers and sisters. 

So, here's the plan.

To create a personal connection to the suffering of the Yemeni people, MAS Youth Detroiters are offering our personal and collective skills to raise awareness and funds for the Yemen Crisis. Check out what we're offering in the perks bank - the earlier you donate, the more likely you are to claim one of our awesome (and limited) perks!

To get informed and help us raise awareness, here's what YOU can do:

-Share the posts about the conflict from the MYD page to raise awareness and spark conversation. 

-Come out to our discussion on Standing Your Post: Activism in the 45th Era, happening on March 7th at 6:30pm! We're hosting a dynamic conversation about the state of our activism, with the Yemen crisis as the case study. 

-Come out to our awareness event on March 13th, 2017 to hear the voices of those impacted by the conflict and take direct action to support them.
