"or feeding [the needy] on a day of starvation" Quran 90:14


Your Donation of $35 will Save a Family 

Your contribution of $35 will save lives of a family of 6 people by providing sustenance for them for the whole Holy month of Ramadan.  Yemen is experiencing the largest humanitarian crisis in the world with over 24 or the 29 million people in Yemen in need of aid and 19 million in need of food with 14 million at risk of famine.  Half of the children in Yemen under the age of five years are severally malnourished.  Over a million women are anemic. This project will alleviate some of the hardship experienced by at least 1000 families during the Holy Month of Ramadan by providing them with food baskets. 

​Reaching the Neediest and Most Inaccessible

One thousand families will receive food rations that sustain them for the Holy Month of Ramadan and avert famine and hardship.  We hope that this act of kindness will also reduce the psychological burden of the family and instill hope in their fellow humans.  Food provided would also reduce the risk of malnutrition among young children who are more likely to be infected with diseases that could be fatal. 


​Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation provided support to over 110,000 individuals in Yemen 

Yemen Relief and Reconstruction Foundation is a tax exempt organization and your donation is tax deductible.  Our Tax ID Number is: 82-241-8739 .  We will focus on most vulnerable groups throughout Yemen. We have access to the most challenging places. All our staff in the US and Yemen are volunteers. With your support, we will reach 1000 families with 6000 members.

600 people experienced the kindness of our generous donors this Ramadan

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful

Al-Salaam Alikum Wa Rahmat Allah Wa Barkatuh and Jumaah Mubarakah,

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 past donation to support our relief work in Yemen.  Jazakum Allah kul khair.  Please consider donating again, or including us in your zakat, to alleviate some of the 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.

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

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

Please see Yemeni families this Ramadan

Salaam all and Ramadan Mubarak,

We are reaching out to you during this month of Mercy to ask that you support hungry families in Yemen.  It cost $2 per day to feed a family of six per day.  One good deed is worth 10 rewards as specified in our holy book, the sacred Quran.

May you, your families and loved ones enjoy this blessed month.

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

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.

We ask for your support again!

Ramadan Iftars in the times of COCVID-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.

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".

Jazakum Allah Khairan.

We will continue our distribution throughout Ramadan and during Eid.  I am attaching a few pictures from the most recent distribution.  Please also visit our Facebook Page for detailed information of our work, https://m.facebook.com/savealifeinyemen/

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 knowing that they had food for their families.



Surah Baqarah, 2:215

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