Amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen, caused by prolonged conflict, economic collapse, and rising food prices, millions of families continue to face severe food insecurity. Access to basic daily food remains a major challenge, particularly for internally displaced persons (IDPs), orphans, and the poorest households.
Since 2021 Horizon Foundation for Development has been implementing a daily bread distribution program without interruption, aiming to alleviate suffering and provide a minimum level of food security for the most vulnerable groups.
The program reaches 300 families every day, benefiting approximately 2,100 individuals daily, including men, women, and children. For many of these families, this daily assistance represents a vital lifeline and a reliable source of basic nourishment.
This humanitarian intervention is made possible through the generous and continuous support of MCUK, whose funding has played a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability of the project over several years, despite increasing humanitarian needs and shrinking resources.
Beyond providing bread, the project contributes to:
Reducing daily hunger
Preventing harmful coping mechanisms
Preserving human dignity
Strengthening social cohesion within affected communities
Horizon Foundation for Development reaffirms its commitment to continuing this essential humanitarian response, alongside its broader food security and livelihood programs, to ease suffering and enhance community resilience across Yemen.
