Orphan Sponsorship
In the face of Yemen’s conflict, children are the most vulnerable and disproportionately affected. Many have been killed or maimed, recruited into armed forces and groups, and lost family members. With a deteriorating medical system, dying from preventable diseases is an unfortunate reality. Widespread malnutrition is rampant in the nation with over 10.3 million children not having enough to eat. Show them that their life still matters, and sponsor a child in Yemen, Today.
Sponsor An Orphan Child Yemen
Sponsor A Child In Yemen
According to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Allah (SWT) states: Sponsoring an orphan is one of the greatest deeds.
A recent 2021 United Nations report states that there are 10 million children without proper access to water and sanitation, as well as for 7.8 million children without access to education, following school closures. Nearly 2 million of Yemen’s children are out of school as lack of funds to pay teachers’ salaries have led to school shutdowns.
Displacement, damage to infrastructure all threaten children’s’ ability to thrive in a safe environment with their families. Young boys are at danger of being recruited for child soldiers. The lives of these children aren’t easy. Can you imagine dealing with lack of food, water, education, without the comfort of parents? This project is very important to us and we hope to have your help through donations.
Sponsor an orphan or donate to Yemen orphans now, let’s change lives.
How To Donate To Yemen Orphans

It’s estimated that 2,600 children have been forced into armed groups.
Risks of family separation are increasing as a result of protracted conflict and poverty. Many men and older boys die or are injured when fighting, or they stay behind to preserve houses, lands, and livelihoods; while women, children, and elderly flee.

Help Yemen's Children: Donate to the Yemen Crisis

EMERGENCY ALERT
Over seven years of conflict and severe economic decline are driving Yemen to the brink of famine.
Each day, children struggle to survive the triple threat of bombs, starvation and disease. Save the Children has reached more than 4 million children in Yemen with urgent care and assistance. Your donation supports this lifesaving work.
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.
“This protracted fighting in Yemen is turning the country to a hell on earth for children," said Rama Hansraj, Save the Children’s Country Director in Yemen.
"Everyone is Yemen is utterly exhausted, and everyone is struggling to survive the day; fathers skipping meals to feed their children, mothers selling the very little they have, and young boys and girls are laboring day and night to help put bread on their families’ tables.
There is no safe place for the children to hide. Their schools and hospitals are ravaged by repeated and senseless fighting, their playgrounds are turned into graveyards, and their homes are struggling to feed them or keep them safe.
They are starved, isolated, left behind, neglected, and forgotten by the rest of world, as if their suffering is some sort of a natural order; when the suffering of children is the most unnatural order of all. It is an order that we are calling on the world not to accept; to say enough is enough.
A whole generation of children in Yemen is struggling daily, with detrimental impacts not only on the children’s future, but on the future of the entire country.

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.

“This is, of course, the data that we were able to verify,” added James Elder, UNICEF spokesman. “And how many more children died and were injured, but did not get into this statistics.”
The situation as seen by a UNICEF staff member
He spoke about his visit to Yemen, during which he traveled to many parts of the country and met with its inhabitants, including teachers, doctors and nurses, as well as with the children themselves. “I heard a lot of stories about children, some of them are inspiring, but all of them are connected with suffering,” shared a UNICEF representative.
According to Elder, the world's worst crisis is caused by a tragic combination of four factors: a protracted and brutal conflict, economic destruction, a complete lack of services for the population and a catastrophic lack of funding for UN humanitarian operations in Yemen.
The conflict in Yemen in numbers
He gave some figures that reflect the desperate situation of the Yemenis. For example, eighty percent of all Yemeni children, about 11 million minors, need support. 400,000 of them are already suffering from acute malnutrition.
About two million children are out of school, and another four million are at risk of being in the same situation. Two-thirds of teachers - more than 170 thousand members of the profession - have not received a regular salary for almost four years. 1.7 million children have been forced to leave their homes to escape violence that has started to rise again in parts of Yemen.
15 million Yemenis - half of them children - do not have access to clean water and sanitation. “Due to ongoing fighting and lack of funding, UNICEF is not in a position to help all these children. I don’t know how else to convey this truth to everyone: without increased support from the international community, more children will die, and children do not bear any responsibility for this conflict,” the UNICEF representative emphasized.
Help from the UN Children's Fund
He also said that the UN Children's Fund is doing everything in its power to prevent this from happening. In particular, it supports about 4,000 medical facilities and 130 therapeutic nutrition centers, provides 1.5 million families with financial assistance, supplies drinking water to 5 million people, helps fight the pandemic and vaccinate as many Yemenis as possible.
But this is not a complete list of good deeds: UNICEF provides psychological support to children, educates them about mine risks and improves the professional training of doctors. This year alone, 620,000 Yemeni children received educational assistance. “Despite all efforts, the humanitarian situation in Yemen is deteriorating and the economy is in critical condition,” Elder added.
“I met a pediatrician in Yemen who is trying to bring malnourished children back to life,” he said. - To become a doctor, this woman studied for about ten years, she works for another eight years.
So, this year she has never received a salary. She does her job for free."
UNICEF is asking for an urgent $235 million donation from donors for humanitarian operations in Yemen by the middle of next year.
"Don't let these children of Yemen die": a desperate call from the UN to the international community |
Humanitarian Aid
“The tiny children are malnourished, so weak from hunger they can hardly breathe.” This is how the head of the World Food Program (WFP), David Beasley, describes what he saw in Yemen. Fighting in the port city of Hodeidah has exacerbated an already dire situation by limiting the ability to import food and essentials.
Yemen is experiencing the world's worst humanitarian crisis. Many of its inhabitants are on the verge of starvation. In Sana'a, the country's capital, World Food Program staff have opened emergency malnutrition centers.
People are given nutritional supplements, and the weakest are immediately sent to hospitals. “People have nothing to feed their children,” says Naglaa Elsonboli, head of the local hospital's pediatric department. “Instead of milk, for which there is no money, they boil rice and feed the baby with this concoction.”

In some cases, even the most intensive treatment no longer helps. Hajar Saleh is four months old and weighs 2.3 kilograms. At the hospital in Saada, they tried to save her, but the child's condition only worsened - help arrived too late. Now Hajar has been taken to a clinic in the capital, which receives international support, but the doctors are not yet sure that the girl will be able to go out.
WFP is currently assisting 8 million people in Yemen and is preparing to expand operations to 12 million people in need of food.
Where shops and markets are still open, people receive food vouchers to support local businesses. Each month, the average family can buy 50 kg of flour, 5 kg of legumes and 4 liters of oil with a WFP voucher.
Many Yemenis are on the verge of starvation.
These products still need to be brought into Yemen, where virtually nothing is produced. And the port city of Hodeidah, which receives 70 percent of all cargo, is under siege. The civilians left here are waiting for a short lull between shelling and air raids in order to get out for fuel and food. Checkpoints and armed men are everywhere, and the city itself - or rather, what is left of it - lies in ruins. Life in the port has practically stopped - most of the equipment is damaged.
