"And whoever saves a life, it is as though they had saved the lives of all humanity..." Quran: 5:32


21 MILLION IN YEMEN NEED HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE

14 MILLION CAN'T AFFORD A MEAL/DAY

$30 provides one month's food for a family

Yemen is under siege and millions of people have lost their means of living.  3.1 million have lost their homes and are internally displaced. 

According to UN agencies, Yemen is the largest humanitarian disaster in our recent history.  Norwegian Relief Organizations says that famine in Yemen is at Biblical proportions. Millions risk dying silently due to hunger. By the end of the year, Yemen will be in a state of full blown famine." 


What We're Doing in Yemen

We started our first LaunchGood campaign in Ramadan.  Since then we have provided over 3500 families across Yemen with Food Baskets.  All funds raised were used to provide food baskets to those in need. We also distributed Adhya meat for over 800 families.  In the Winter, especially in the highlands,  we distributed blankets and warm clothing.  With your help, we’ve supplied hundreds of school children with school bags and uniforms and hundreds of children with new Eid clothes.


Reaching the Neediest

Through our network of local volunteers, we are able to reach needy families not only in urban areas, but also remote villages and refugee camps. There are now an estimated 3.1 million people who fled their homes and many are now living in makeshift shelters in Yemeni refugee camps which provide only relative safety.


How You Can Help

A $30 donation will feed an entire family for the month. This buys basic essential food items including flour, rice, sugar, oil and locally available beans. 100% of your donation goes to feeding hungry families and is matched by generous benefactors in Yemen.

Last 10 Days of Ramadan

Salaam alikum and Khawatum Mubarakah,

As Ramadan is entering the last 10 days and as we approach Laylat Al-Qadr, I am writing to ask that you consider supporting families in need in Yemen.  In these blessed days, feeding the hungry is one of the activities that brings us closer to the Allah.  The Quran, through many verses, encourages us to give to those less fortunate and feed the hungry.  Surah Baqarah, 2:215 States:

يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنفِقُونَ قُلْ مَا أَنفَقْتُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ فَلِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَمَا تَفْعَلُواْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ

215. They will ask thee as to what they should spend on others. Say: “Whatever of your wealth you spend, shall (first) be for your parents, and for the near of kin, and the orphans, and the needy, and the wayfarer; and whatever good you do, verily, God has full knowledge thereof.”

There are at least 14 millions in Yemen who are the verge of famine.  You contribution will save lives.  

Please support our campaign and share it with family and friends following the guidance of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who said, "Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good action".

Ramadan Iftar - Please help us reach the neediest

Salaam/Peace friends,

Ramadan Mubarak.  We are delighted to share with you that we started out first Ramadan distribution today, Friday, May 3rd in Sana'a with 100 food baskets, feeding at least 600 people for the Holy month of Ramadan.  Families of children with special needs were the recipients of these food baskets. 

This year, we decided to start early so that people can start Ramadan knowing that they have food.  We will continue our distribution throughout Ramadan and during Eid.  I am attaching a few pictures from today's distribution.  

Please share our campaign with family and friends.  Your support is crucial to ensure that many families spend this Holy month knowing that kind and generous people do care and would like for them to have a peace of mind about feeding their families.

Thank you for supporting our efforts in Yemen

Salaam/Peace friends,

We also want to share with you other good news from Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, https://yemenfoundation.org/ that your generosity helped us establish.

We are delighted to share with you that we have reached about 110,000 people in Yemen with food rations that sustain them for one month in 2018.  All the funds donated were used to provide much needed food, school bags and supplies and warm clothing to the most in need.  Our volunteers at Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation, reached the most inaccessible areas of Yemen.  Our teams traveled up to 16 hours to reach the most difficult places where no one else had provided aid. 

I am happy to share the most recent photos of food baskets distributed to 300 families in Aslim, Hajjah, whose children are hospitalized for severe malnutrition.  This area borders Saudi Arabia and is not accessible to most aid agencies.  However, because we work with Yemeni volunteers, we were able to be there and act in your behalf in delivering aid. 

Between Thanksgiving and Today, we distributed food baskets to 1400 families and provided internally displaced children with school bags and supplies and provided shelter for the space they are using to attain their education, picture attached.  I was informed that the children and the community were very happy.

On Behalf of the people who received relief services, we wish to extend our gratitude for your support and wish you, your families and loved ones a happy and prosperous New Year.
