THE CHALLENGE:

To cycle from the heart of London through beautiful scenery and into central Paris. I will be cycling for over 3 days covering nearly 180 miles.

THE CAUSE:

Like much of the Middle East, Yemen has suffered huge instability and violence following the Arab Spring in 2011. Nationwide protest led to civil strife and an eventual government coup. Air strikes followed in early 2015, and total war ensued.

Eighteen months on and over 10,000 people have been killed according to the United Nations.  At least 3.2 million Yemenis have been displaced and 14 million out of the 27 million population are estimated to be need of food assistance.

The economy and infrastructure of what was already the poorest country in the Middle East is today in ruins. Worst still, a deadly famine has been sparked leaving thousands of children in several Yemen’s provinces facing a slow death.

Ummah Welfare Trust has launched an emergency appeal for suffering families in Yemen, the land of faith and wisdom. Through local partners, the charity is delivering emergency assistance to displaced and hungry families in Sana’a, Aden, Taiz and Hudaydah.
