Our Story
Save the Children has been working in Yemen since 1963 and was the first international aid group in Yemen. Boys and girls growing up in Yemen, the poorest country in the Arab world, have little opportunity for education and development. We are working non-stop to help Yemeni children survive and thrive. We combat child poverty in Yemen and promote and protect children's rights, with programs in education, protection and survival.
Due to ongoing conflict, rising food prices and a total breakdown of health and other services, Yemen is at risk of slipping into famine. Some 4 million children and pregnant or lactating women are in urgent need of nutrition services. Conditions are ideal for cholera to spread rapidly in the hot summer months, with almost 3,000 suspected cases reported in the first week of July across the country – the highest number seen since the start of the year.
Save the Children in Yemen is distributing cash and vouchers to purchase food, which empowers families to buy food for themselves, bolsters local markets, and helps to ensure that more children don’t become malnourished. We are working hard to keep children in school, setting up temporary learning spaces for those affected by the up to 75 percent of schools destroyed in some areas. The child-friendly spaces we run offer safe places for children in Yemen to learn, play and start to recover from the trauma they have experienced.
