Why this matters in Yemen
Yemen's cholera epidemic, which began in late 2016, became one of the largest ever recorded, and the disease has never fully gone away. Years of conflict have damaged water networks and sewage systems, fuel shortages halt pumping stations, and staff at public water utilities have gone long periods without regular pay. Families who lose piped water turn to shallow wells, trucked water of unknown quality or open sources, which is where contamination begins.
Outbreaks spread fastest among displaced families in crowded sites, in districts where health facilities have closed, and in the rainy season, when flooding washes waste into water supplies. Young children and malnourished people are most at risk of dying from dehydration. Chlorinating water at the source, handing out household water treatment and getting hygiene supplies to affected neighborhoods within days of the first cases are among the fastest ways to cut transmission, and cost far less than treating people once they are ill.

Organization
Oxfam in Yemen · Yemen
Charity Commission for England and Wales (parent: Oxfam GB) · No. 202918
Founded 1983 · Headquarters: Sana'a
Runs water chlorination and sanitation for cholera response.
How they work: Oxfam's water and sanitation teams combine engineering with public health promotion. They rehabilitate and chlorinate water systems, truck water where networks have failed, and build or repair latrines, while community volunteers share information on safe water, handwashing and recognizing symptoms. In some areas Oxfam also gives families cash assistance to buy food and water. It works through local partner organizations and coordinates with water and health authorities.
Track record: Since July 2015 Oxfam has reached 920,000 people in four Yemeni governorates with water, sanitation and hygiene work, including chlorination of water sources to prevent cholera.

Giving in Yemen
Child malnutrition and disease, both worsened by years of conflict, are the focus in Yemen. Three of the four causes deal with nutrition at different stages: community screening that finds acute malnutrition early, therapeutic food for children with severe cases, and supplementary feeding where conflict has disrupted food supply chains. The fourth funds chlorination supplies and rapid response teams during cholera outbreaks. Partners are international agencies with long-standing operations in Yemen: Action Against Hunger, Save the Children and Oxfam.
4 causes are listed in Yemen, each with its own verified organization. $333,543 has been distributed to causes in Yemen since 2021.
