Yemen faces a level of famine rarely seen in modern times. In addition, it has the highest recorded rate of cholera in history to date. This means millions of people are without food and access to clean water. One Nation is providing regular supplies of water tanks to entire neighbourhoods in Yemen, alongside monthly food parcels to families desperately in need. Every month they support more than 29,000 people in Yemen. We are aiming to raise £20,000 to help One Nation continue providing Yemen with life-saving food, water and medical aid in Yemen.
