And they feed, for the love of God, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive Quran 76:8


On March 2, 2023 CNN published an article with heart breaking description of the level of Hunger Yemeni children experience. The Emergency System monitoring Famine indicated increased level of famine in Yemen.  Yemeni die of hunger in silence without media attention to their plight. 


$55 Sustains a family of 6 for a Month

In 2022, Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation distributed food baskets to 240,423 people throughout Yemen. Our aim is to feed 1000 families with 6000 members for the whole month of Holly Month of Ramadan.  Please help us reach our goal.

Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation

http://www.yemenfoundation.com is a registered charitable non-profit organization in the State of Washington and is based in Seattle. All our staff in the US and Yemen are volunteers and 100% of donations go to support those in need. 


Too Hungry to Weep

A staggering 21.6 million people require some form of humanitarian assistance in 2023, as 80 per cent of the country’s population struggles to access food. Over two million of them are children suffering from acute malnutrition.

​Millions more at risk of famine



The UN just announced that the number of people who are at risk of famine increased from to 16 million. Parents who can't feed their children are left with feeling helpless as they see their children weather and die in front of them.  Many mother see their children rapidly lose weight because the family does not have access to sufficient food.  Millions of Yemeni parents are forced to watch their children die of hunger because they don't have reliable access to food.

Nourish Hope


Salaam all,


I am reaching out to ask that you consider supporting our new campaign to provide food to children who are treated at malnutrition centers.  After they are released, many of them relapse because the families can't afford appropriate food.  YRRF provides nutritious food for 6 months to each child to ensure they are no longer at risk of relapse or death.  It costs $30 per month to provide such items.  Here is our new campaign https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/nourish_hope_combatting_malnutrition_in_yemeni_children#!/

First 600 people experienced kindness of our donors

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful

Al-Salaam Alikum Wa Rahmat Allah Wa Barkatuh,

We are pleased to report that the first 100 families, 600 people did not have to go hungry this Ramadan, thanks to your generous and kind donation.  Jazakum Allah Kul Khair. 

https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/feed_1000_families_in_yemen#!/

As we reach the middle of this Holy Month of Ramadan, I pray that you and your family and loved ones have had blessed days, and that the second half of Ramadan will be filled with serenity and peace. 

Many of us take our blessings for granted; yet the war in Yemen demonstrated how everything can be taken away without any warning.  The people have lost peace, homes, jobs, and even their ability to provide a meal a day for their families and loved ones. 

The Quran recounts multiple times the reward for those who feed the hungry.

"أَوْ إِطْعَـٰمٌۭ فِى يَوْمٍۢ ذِى مَسْغَبَةٍۢ ١٤ يَتِيمًۭا ذَا مَقْرَبَةٍ ١٥ أَوْ مِسْكِينًۭا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍۢ ١٦ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْمَرْحَمَةِ ١٧ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَيْمَنَةِ ١٨"

“Or feeding, on a day of severe hunger, an orphaned relative, or a needy person in distress. And to be one of those who have faith and urge each other to perseverance and urge each other to compassion. These are the people of the right.” (Qur’an 90:14-18)

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was known to have said: “An individual should not eat until they feed someone who is hungry.”

Thank you very much for your donation to support our relief work in Yemen.  Jazakum Allah kul khair.  Please consider donating again to alleviate some of their suffering.  It only costs $2 to feed a family of 6 a day. If you can’t donate, please share our campaign with family and friends.  If not, please make Doua for peace in Yemen.

May your prayers be accepted; your Doua be answered, and your good deeds be rewarded.

Last 10 days of Ramadan

Salaam/Peace friends,

As we enter the last 10 days of the holy month of Ramadan, I would like to extend our deep appreciation and gratitude for your support to provide relief for those in need.  May you and your loved ones be blessed.  


This Ramadan, we are focusing our work on feeding the hungry and supporting the orphans. This is possible because of our kind and generous donors.  Alhamed Lillah, we are sponsoring 605 orphans with monthly allowances.  Please visit our website for updates on our work that your contributions made possible. Your donations are being used as prescribed by the Holy Quran. 

"And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive" 76:8


This past week, we were able to support 250  newly Internally Displaced Families with food baskets.  We learned about their situation and we were able to immediately dispatch our volunteers so that they have at least food, since they just lost their home.      

I hope that you can support and share our camping with family and friends to spread the blessing and the reward of these last days of Ramadan.  

Thank you for your support.  Aisha

Please support our latest campaign for Yemen!

Al-Matammah and Al-Motoon Districts – Al-Jawf Governorate


Please support our latest effort to support hundreds of Yemeni families: https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/save_a_life_in_yemen_7?src=update


C:\Users\Moh.Kalfoot\Desktop\Jawf\IMG-20201130-WA0016.jpg


Al-Matammah and Al-Matoon are districts in Al-Jawf Governorate that house over 100,000 people. The local people continue to bear the brunt of the ongoing conflict. 

C:\Users\Moh.Kalfoot\Desktop\Jawf\IMG-20201130-WA0026.jpg

Families struggle to make their ends meet. Their living condition has dramatically deteriorated at the household level, leaving them vulnerable to preventable diseases. Children experience a very high rate of malnutrition. 

C:\Users\Moh.Kalfoot\Desktop\Jawf\IMG-20201130-WA0023.jpg

Moreover, hundreds of displaced families have taken shelters in both districts.  Their living condition at the random IDP settlements is even far worse than that of the host communities. 

YRRF provided 200 families (600 people) with food baskets targeting the most vulnerable families.

Ramadan Iftars in times of COVID-19

Salaam brothers and sisters and Ramadan Kareem,

{And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive…} [Quran 76:8]

YRRF was established with Launch Good donors to provide relief to those in need in Yemen.  We are a voluntary organization and 100% of your donation go directly to support those in need.  Your donation goes a long way.  This few days of the Holy month of Ramadan, we were able to provide food baskets to needy families and provide funds to over 400 orphans. 

On the 4th day of the holy month of Ramadan, our generous donors allowed us to reach 100 families in Mount Sabri and 100 families in Rimah with food baskets. 1200 people will have food that sustains them for one month. Both places are mountains and hard to reach. We are indebted to our volunteers in Yemen who make sure that those inaccessible and hard to reach areas are not forgotten. During the first 5 days of Ramadan, we have reached 650 needy families with 3900 members (Photos attached).

You donations save lives. Please continue supporting our work and sharing our campaign with family and friends. May you, your families and loved ones be protected and blessed.

Correction: 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".

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.

We made it! Thank you for your generousity

Salaam/Peace friends,

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. 

We are 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 border 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.
