Pure Hands provides emergency safe water and hygiene services to displaced communities across Yemen.
Access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene remains one of the most urgent life-saving needs for millions across Yemen.
An estimated 17 million people lack adequate access to safe water, while over 40% of IDP sites lack basic sanitation facilities, resulting in widespread open defecation and increased risks of waterborne diseases.
Children, especially girls, are disproportionately impacted, often spending long hours collecting water from unsafe and distant sources, exposing them to protection risks and disrupting access to education.
Insufficient access to safe WASH services is a key driver of disease outbreaks and contributes directly to malnutrition, especially among children in conflict-affected, flood-prone, and hard-to-reach areas.
To ensure the most vulnerable populations in Yemen have timely, equitable, and life-saving access to emergency WASH services to reduce excess morbidity and mortality and preserve human dignity.
To improve equitable and safe access to emergency water supply, basic sanitation, and hygiene services for populations affected by conflict, displacement, and climate-related shocks.
