Donate to our Yemen Appeal
for children in Crisis
What is happening in Yemen?
Last updated: 2 September 2025
Yemen is facing one of the world’s worst emergencies. Right now, over 11 million children need urgent humanitarian support.
4.5 million people remain displaced throughout the country since 2015.
Any outbreak of diseases will place even more pressure on medical staff and the already scarce supply of hospital resources, such as gloves, soap, and ventilators.
Children in Yemen require your urgent support
After a decade of conflict, health systems in Yemen are on the brink of collapse. Children have been killed in the ongoing conflict and recruited into the fighting — a fate that no child deserves.
At the same time, millions of children in Yemen are facing malnutrition and a distressing mental health crisis.
Children are going without:
- Adequate food
- Clean water
- Sanitation facilities
- Basic healthcare
We must act now to protect Yemen’s children from the effects of war, disease and hunger.
How to donate to Yemen
Your donation to our Yemen Appeal will make a lasting difference in the lives of children.
You can help heal a child suffering from malnutrition for £10 a month, which provides enough life-saving therapeutic food for a week.
Alternatively, you can help 60 children in Yemen continue their education with exercise books for just £15 a month.
Can I make a one-off donation?
If you prefer to make a single one-off donation, this option is available on the donation form above, or over the phone.
With a single donation of £49, you can provide a family with a month’s worth of clean water and sanitation supplies, protecting them from waterborne diseases
How will my donation help children?
We are working around the clock to protect children in Yemen.
The type of support we are delivering includes:
- Providing access to clean water to over 735,000 people.
- Helping over 58,000 children gain access to quality education by creating learning spaces and supporting the rehabilitation of schools.
- Providing individual learning materials to over 44,000 children (50 per cent girls) in Taiz, Ibb, Marib, and Ad Dahlia governorates.
- Working with partners to deliver emergency relief to 72,800 people across 18 governorates.
- Empowering children to complete their vaccination schedules by training adolescents to engage their peers and communities.
- Working with our partners to provide life-saving education on risks posed by mines, unexploded ordnances, and explosive remnants of war to over 1.3 million affected people.
Unfortunately, we don’t have unlimited resources to reach every child in need. We need your help to provide essential life-saving supplies for the children who need them the most.
Donating by phone
If you’re in the UK and would prefer to make a donation by phone, you can call our dedicated donation line: 0300 330 5699.
For the first 3 months, monthly donations made to this appeal will go towards funding our work to support children affected by the emergency in Yemen. After that, donations will go to support our work around the world. In the unlikely events of funds raised exceeding what is needed, or if funds cannot viably be directed to this appeal, we will direct funds to support our work to help keep children safe and healthy around the world.
Revan, a 6-month-old baby, is cradled in her mother's arms as she undergoes required screenings and vaccinations inside a UNICEF-supported mobile clinic. Such initiatives are made possible through collaborative work with our partners.
Your donation to our Yemen Appeal can help protect millions of children like Revan from diseases. Donate to our Yemen Appeal and help make a difference.
