The Issue

The Challenge We Face

Home is more than four walls and a roof—it’s safety, dignity, and a foundation for rebuilding life.

Yet for millions of Yemenis, home has become a distant memory. Families huddle in damaged buildings, makeshift shelters, or under open skies, exposed to the elements and living in constant fear.

Years of conflict have resulted in widespread destruction of housing and infrastructure across Yemen. Over 4 million people have been displaced from their homes, many multiple times, seeking safety wherever they can find it.

The shelter crisis is compounded by the lack of non-food items (NFIs) essential for daily living. Families lack mattresses, blankets, cooking utensils, and other basic household items necessary to maintain health and dignity.
