Stocks therapeutic feeding centers with ready-to-use therapeutic food for children under five with severe acute malnutrition.
Why this matters in Yemen
A decade of war, a collapsed currency and repeated disruption to imports have left millions of Yemeni families unable to afford a basic diet, even where food is on sale in local markets. The country imports most of its staple food, so price spikes at the ports and fuel shortages reach households quickly. Mothers who are undernourished themselves struggle to breastfeed, and young children's diets are often limited to bread and tea.
Severe acute malnutrition is the most dangerous outcome, especially in the first two years of life. A child in this state has a weakened immune system and can die from a routine infection or a bout of diarrhea. Therapeutic food, a fortified paste that needs no water or cooking, allows most children to recover within weeks. The weak point is supply: when centers run out, children are turned away or sent home without treatment, and supply pipelines have repeatedly been interrupted by funding cuts and access restrictions.

Organization
Action Against Hunger Yemen · Yemen
INSEE SIRENE, SIRET (parent: Action contre la Faim, France) · No. 31899089200057
Founded 2012 · Headquarters: Sana'a
Operates in Yemen treating child acute malnutrition, including receiving and delivering nutrition supplies in northern Yemen.
How they work: Action Against Hunger supports Ministry of Public Health and Population facilities rather than running a parallel system, supplying nutrition products, training staff and helping clinics manage outpatient treatment and inpatient stabilization centers. Mobile teams reach areas where facilities are not functioning. Nutrition work is combined with water, sanitation and hygiene, psychosocial support for mothers and caregivers, and cash or food assistance that tackle the causes of malnutrition.
Track record: Working in Yemen since 2011, Action Against Hunger has supported 843,821 people and strengthened screening and treatment of acute malnutrition.

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.
