Relief Efforts in Yemen

CARE has been continuously active in Yemen since 1992, addressing poverty and promoting social justice through emergency relief efforts and sustainable development projects.

CARE is operational across 14 governorates in Yemen, delivering emergency response and recovery assistance through direct implementation and in partnership with local and international organizations.

A collapsing economy and non-existent public services mean that millions are struggling to access food, water, education, and healthcare. Our interventions start at the community level where we respond to emergencies, strengthen resilience, and give voice to the most marginalized groups, especially women and girls. In addition to our emergency interventions, CARE’s programs work along the continuum of the nexus, where early recovery, resilience building, and longer-term development are integral parts of our programs.
