1) More than 8 years of crisis have made Yemen’s children extremely vulnerable and have
left 21.6 million people in dire need of humanitarian aid. Islamic Relief is working to support
children suffering from the fallout of the crisis.

2) Hussein is one of many children supported by our Orphan Sponsorship Programme. His
mother is the family’s sole breadwinner but the money she makes from her cleaning job at
the school is not enough to cover her children’s needs. “We have difficulties paying for books
and school uniforms. But I wish to become a doctor and a poet in the future,” Hussein says. “I
hope that Islamic Relief will continue its support.”

3) The monthly sponsorship money the family receives enables Hussein and his sisters to
attend school by covering their tuition fees. Islamic Relief has also provided coats, scarves,
gloves and hats to the family, to help the children keep warm in winter.
“Islamic Relief has supported us financially, and our living conditions have improved, but we
still face food and water shortages,” Hussein says.

4) The ongoing crisis in Yemen has impacted millions of people, but it is children that suffer
most. Children continue to be affected by violent incidents, with hundreds of child casualties
being reported in the third quarter of 2022 alone. Meanwhile, more than 2 million children are
now suffering from acute malnutrition – a life-threatening condition if not treated urgently.
Damage to schools and hospitals has significantly impacted children’s development, causing
widespread disruption to accessing education and health services. In 2023, UNICEF reported
that more than 2.7 million children were out of school.

5) Islamic Relief’s Orphan Sponsorship Programme aims to support the world’s most
vulnerable children, providing financial support to those who have lost both parents or a
father. In Yemen, we run the programme across 4 governorates, supporting thousands of
orphaned children to access education, healthcare and the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
