Clean Water for Families in Yemen

GlobalMedic is continuing to support families in Yemen who are living through one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis. There are still more than 24 million people, 80% of the country's population who are in need of humanitarian assistance. Food insecurity, lack of access to clean water, the ongoing cholera outbreak, and the damage to so much of the country's infrastructure have left families in an incredibly precarious situation.

It is vital that people continue to receive support in the health, water and sanitation sectors during the pandemic to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as much as possible.

GlobalMedic has been continuing to distribute Family Emergency Kits and Emergency Food Kits in Yemen. Each Family Emergency Kit contains a water purification solution. This is a key tool for families to ensure they have consistent access to safe, clean drinking water and are protected from contracting water-borne diseases. 

The FEKs also contain essential hygiene items like soap. Proper and frequent hand washing is one of the easiest and most important ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and access to soap will allow families to take that step in protecting their health.

The Emergency Food Kits contain a mixture of shelf stable pantry ingredients that are nutritious and culturally appropriate. The kits can supplement a family’s diet for one to two months.

We are in the process of preparing two more sea containers filled with aid to send and distribute in Yemen. All funds raised will continue to go towards the distribution of Family Emergency Kits and Emergency Food Kits.
