Yemen Appeal
Families in Yemen, caught amid the crossfire of conflict, are suffering in what the UN describes as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
An estimated 20.7 million people need humanitarian assistance — 11.3 million of them children. Famine is widespread: 2.3 million children are acutely malnourished and 400,000 severely so.
The Zahra Trust has been on the ground in Yemen since 2016 — delivering food, clean water, medical aid and shelter to families who have lost almost everything.
Your support today delivers food, water, medical care and shelter to those most in need across Yemen.

Humanitarian Response in Yemen
Standing with Yemen's families
Years of conflict have left 4.5 million people displaced and pushed over half of them to the brink of famine. The Zahra Trust works in Sana'a, Al Hudaydah and Aden — delivering food, clean water, medical aid and shelter.
Our ultra-filtration water plants produce up to 60,000 litres of clean water a day, supporting up to 50,000 people. In Al Hudayda we are building 200 furnished homes and handing the deeds directly to families — theirs for life.
Every donation reaches the communities that need it most — delivered with care by our teams on the ground across Yemen since 2016.
