How Your Donation Specifically Helps in Yemen
Our 20+ Years of Experience in Yemen Aid
- Vision Hope International e.V. (VHI) has been active with relief projects as an NGO in Yemen since 2002.
- In Yemen, we respond with emergency relief where it’s urgently needed: food, medical treatment, and shelter.
- And our mission goes further: We rebuild schools and hospitals, restore water infrastructure, reforest devastated land, and train especially women to generate their own income and support their families.
- As a charity in Yemen, we operate in 11 governorates: Sana’a, Hodaidah, Mahweet, Hajja, Aden, Taiz, Dhale, Marib, Lahj, Hadramout, and Raymah.
- With the support of about 65 dedicated staff members in our 6 active offices throughout Yemen, your donation for Yemen empowers us to carry out humanitarian assistance and sustainable initiatives.
- With 98% of our team working locally in the countries we serve, we not only strengthen job markets — we also act with the cultural insight and trust needed to create lasting change.

Coffee Cultivation and Reforestation
Coffee farming is a crucial economic sector in rural Yemen. However, farmers face challenges such as limited access to markets, water scarcity, and lack of training about sustainable practices. A new project by our charity in Yemen will train farmers and their families in the governorates of Hajjah, Al Mahwit, and Lahj in climate-resilient agricultural practices. As the ongoing crisis and higher gas prices have led to increased deforestation in Yemen, FMNR (Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration) will be used to regenerate degraded land.
Food Aid and Agriculture
Yemen‘s 9-year war and climatic shocks have increased food insecurity and caused acute starvation for 17.3M people. Population displacement, damaged infrastructure and economic decline have resulted in disrupted public services and limited access to humanitarian aid. To combat this, Vision Hope as an NGO in Yemen, and partners implemented food support projects in 2023, achieving food security and tackling hunger in Hajjah and Al-Hodeidah.
Food Aid & Medical Care
The protracted crisis in Yemen has negatively impacted the delivery of the basic services required to maintain the optimal health and nutritional well-being of both the mothers and the children. Yemen was expected to face a significant rise in acute malnutrition cases among children and pregnant and lactating women in 2023. Projections indicate that over 2.25 million cases of acute malnutrition are expected among children aged 0 to 59 months, and more than a million cases among pregnant and lactating women. Without proper treatment of severely malnourished children, mortality odds remain high at 30 to 50 percent.
Protection for Yemeni children
Tens of thousands of Yemeni children have become orphans since the war began in March 2015, but with the collapse of the country’s social services, government-run orphanages have been unable to provide for them. Many families have had to flee from their homes when their communities turned into war zones or became affected by natural disasters such as floods and became uninhabitable; they have joined the millions of Yemenis who are classified as internally displaced persons (IDPs) and have no food, shelter, or source of income. All of these populations face increased risks of gender violence and exploitative labor practices while struggling to meet their immediate needs. In Yemen, our NGO’s protection activities centered on caring for orphans, displaced people and families affected by floods.
Education for Yemeni children
The conflict in Yemen has devastated the country’s infrastructure, particularly its schools. Literacy rates among children have dropped from 85% to 59% for males and 55% to 18% for females since the war started. Illiteracy is a widespread problem, especially among girls, with 80% not enrolled. Educating Yemeni children today is essential to rebuilding the country and creating sustainable communities; the future of Yemen depends on them gaining literacy and other academic skills today.
Employment Creation Yemen
Since the outbreak of war in 2015, fighting has devastated the economy, led to severe food insecurity and destroyed key infrastructure. The UN estimates that 21.6 million people were at risk of hunger, poverty, and disease in 2023. 55% of the workforce has been laid off, more than 25% of businesses have closed and more than 40% of women-owned businesses have had to go out of business. More than 70% of the population still live in rural areas, where the economy is based on agriculture and livestock. Agriculture generates only 17% of the total GDP, but employs more than 50% of the population. Yemen’s currency has continued to fall to historic lows, driving up food prices and plunging people into poverty. Socio-economic conditions have deteriorated rapidly due to declining remittances, fragmented macroeconomic policies, severe fuel supply shortages and reduced humanitarian interventions. Our charity efforts in Yemen aim to address these challenges by creating jobs and supporting small businesses, especially for women.
Providing Clean Water in Yemen - Nexus Projects
Yemen is currently experiencing one of the world‘s most severe humanitarian crisis. As the poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula and classified as a Least Developed Country (LDC), Yemen‘s situation has further deteriorated due to the ongoing war. Development efforts are hindered, and various sectors have been adversely affected. Educational and healthcare facilities have been destroyed through deliberate targeting or a lack of maintenance. Additionally, 80% of the population relies on inadequate water sources, resulting in limited availability and the need to spend much time fetching water. More training and capacity-building opportunities for individuals, organizations, and local government offices are needed. Moreover, the conflict has severely damaged the social fabric, necessitating efforts towards social reconstruction.
