Yemen Crisis
Yemen Appeal
You can end the suffering. Send your support to Yemen today.
Over a decade into a crippling civil war, Yemen continues to face the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with multifaced struggles like climate change, political instability, and water insecurity leaving the majority of the population without the means to live happy, healthy, dignified lives.
The UN estimates that 80% live below the poverty line, with 18.2 million people relying on international aid just to survive – heartbreakingly, this includes over 5 million innocent children.
Yemen is a nation edging towards a healthcare collapse – around half of health facilities in Yemen are not functioning, and the half that are lack speciality physicians, equipment and even basic medicines. With life threatening diseases, hunger, and the reality of a dangerous civil war, a collapsing healthcare system is a death sentence for millions in Yemen.
Penny Appeal are on the ground in Yemen, delivering life-critical food packs, medical supplies, hygiene kits, and shelter for the vulnerable families who find themselves stuck in a cycle of poverty and hunger.

Your Donations in Action | Shain's Story
We met with Shain and his mother at one of our food pack and hygiene kit distributions, where they received enough nutritious foods to keep their whole family fed for an entire month. They also received hygiene items like soap, antibacterial liquid, and hand sanitiser to protect them from diseases and to encourage healthy habits.
Shain’s mother shared the story of her family’s suffering, saying, “My husband died during an attack two years ago in Hudeyda. When the war started, Shain was a little baby. Now he is the man of the house. When my husband died, we came here with my relatives. We try to survive with the aid you deliver.”
Shain’s family and others just like them make up the 4.5 million displaced Yemeni people, many who are displaced for the second or third time.
Help us save lives by supporting children like Shain and their families to become healthy and happy.
