Community capacity building and civil society empowerment
Yemen is currently experiencing a severe and protracted humanitarian crisis. As the poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula, classified as a Least Developed Country (LDC), Yemen’s situation has further deteriorated due to the ongoing war. Conflict has hindered development efforts and adversely impacted a variety of economic sectors. Education and healthcare facilities have been destroyed through deliberate targeting or lack of maintenance. 80% of the population relies on inadequate water sources, resulting in limited availability and extensive time spent fetching water.
Beyond infrastructure damage, the conflict has deeply fractured Yemen’s social fabric, making community capacity building and social reconstruction urgent priorities.

قصة نجاح
عمل بندر الذماري سابقًا في بيع القات، وكفاحًا لتوفير الاحتياجات الأساسية لعائلته. إلا أن المشروع المنفّذ بقرية القرن قد أسهم في تحسين معيشتهم نوعًا ما. حيث تم اختياره كأحد المشاركين في برنامج النقد مقابل العمل، وعمل في بناء وإعادة تأهيل ممر مشاة قرية القرن. ولم يكن بندر يُجيد مهارات البناء، حينئذ تلقى تدريبًا في البناء بالإضافة إلى حافز نقدي. ومع كل دورة توزيع نقدي، شهدت الظروف المعيشية لعائلة بندر تحسنًا ملحوظًا. حيث تمكنوا من شراء الطعام وتسديد بعض الديون واكتساب مهارات مفيدة. الآن، يتطلع بندر في الحصول على فرص عمل في القرى المحيطة. وأشار قائلا: "قبل مشروع الغذاء مقابل الأصول المنفّذ من قبل منظمة رؤيا أمل الدولية، كانت الحياة شاقة. وحاليًا، أصبحت أمتلك المهارات وأتطلع نحو المستقبل."
