Hunger Might Be The Only Companion for 18 Million Yemenis This Ramadan

Help Us Deliver Iftar Meals to Over 1 Million Starving Yemenis

5 Heartbreaking Facts No One Told You About


“Yemen is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with 17 million of its people pushed into acute hunger.”


You’ve probably heard it before. It’s in the headlines, the reels, and countless reports. But here’s the problem—everyone keeps saying it, yet no one is explaining the depths of the struggle, the reasons behind the crisis, or the lives impacted every single day.


That’s why we’re here: to shed light on what’s really happening and why Yemen needs you now more than ever.

Here are 5 shocking facts about Yemen’s hunger crisis you probably didn’t know:


#1: Vital Food Imports Cut Off

Before the war, Yemen imported 70% of its food, including 90% of its wheat and all its rice, tea, and sugar. Conflict at Yemen’s biggest port and economic challenges have disrupted these vital imports.


#2: Funding Cuts Push Millions Into Hunger

Nine million people have had their food assistance halved, leaving 15 major cities to starve. Now, 58% of households struggle with food insecurity, peaking at a historic 60% in southern Yemen.


#3: A Crisis Made Worse by Climate Change

6 million Yemenis are just one step away from famine. This is further worsened by climate change; droughts, water scarcity and rising farming costs are slashing harvests by an estimated 40%.


#4: Half of Yemen May Not Survive This Year

Over 16 million people—half the population—will go hungry this year. This includes five million people facing emergency conditions.


#5: A Child Dies Every 10 Minutes

One child dies every ten minutes in Yemen because of preventable causes such as hunger. That’s 6 children every hour.


So you see, we cannot give up on Yemen…

Especially not with Ramadan looming around the corner.



As we prepare for a month of blessings, how can we ignore those who have nothing?


Will our hearts find peace in Ramadan while millions in Yemen endure it in silence?


When the call to Maghrib fills the air, will their plates still be bare, their hunger unanswered?


If we wait, if we hesitate—how many more will greet Ramadan with empty hands and broken hope?



Bring Comfort & Nourishment to Yemen This Ramadan with Good Deed Charity


Here’s what your loose change has the power to do:


🔸 $2 provides a vegetarian iftar meal


🔸 $2.50 provides a chicken iftar meal


🔸 $50 provides 30 iftar meals


Remember, The Prophet ﷺ said, 



And it’s not just about feeding the hungry. The rewards for charity in Shaban are beyond measure: every good deed is multiplied 70 times!


[Shaïbān] is the month of performing deeds, the good is multiplied seventy times and the evil is diminished, the sins are forgiven, the good deeds are accepted. (Iqbālof Ibn Tāwūs 684; Wasāil of Hurr al-�Āmilī, H. 13952)



The Time to Give is NOW 


Through your early support, we can begin sourcing ingredients, securing supplies, and organizing meal distributions before Ramadan arrives. 


This will help us ensure that when the month of fasting begins, families in Yemen already have hot, nourishing meals ready to break their fast.



Thanks to your generosity, last year we provided 1,012,035 Iftar Meals to the people of Yemen—a milestone that led to our recognition as the most active charity in North Yemen by the charity commission in Sanaa.



This year, we’re determined to reach even more deserving families, so that no fasting soul is left without a meal.



Don’t wait! If you delay your donation until Ramadan, we lose precious time—time that could mean the difference between an iftar meal and an empty plate.

FAQ


1. I’ve never heard of Good Deed Charity before, how do I know if this charity is trustworthy?

Good Deed Charity is a registered charity with both the U.K Government (Charity Number: 1185130) and the Yemeni Government. This means that our organization must operate with the highest standard of ethics, transparency, and accountability -one of the ways we do this is by having a dedicated board of directors to oversee all of our finances, programs & services.


All of Good Deed Charity’s financial statements and impact reports are open to the public and posted online on our website  https://www.gooddeedcharity.org/


In addition to this, Good Deed Charity has already been entrusted to deliver aid on the ground in Yemen on behalf of other larger charity organizations.


Chances are, if you have ever donated to a Yemen campaign for one of the following organizations, Good Deed Charity has already been putting your funds to work on the ground: Charity Right, Mercy Bakery, Humanity for Relief and Development, Pious Projects, Crisis Aid, Heroic Hearts, Slough Islamic Trust, and Imdad Relief Foundation.


Donating directly to Good Deed Charity means 100% of your donation to help the people of Yemen, and not towards any other organization’s administrative costs.
