Thanks for taking the time to visit our wedding page.

We have selected the Tearfund Yemen Crisis Appeal to receive donations from anyone who wishes to give us a wedding gift.

According to data from monitoring group ACAPS the world’s worst humanitarian crisis today is in Yemen.

It’s taking almost every form you can think of – a food crisis, water crisis, health crisis. There are 18.8 million people in need of humanitarian assistance of some form. 

The need has been exacerbated because the environment of Yemen is very unforgiving to agriculture – it's a very dry climate. Yemen historically imported about 90 per cent of its core food types, and some of the infrastructure hit by airstrikes were ports that were critically important for food imports. One port which imported 70 per cent of this food was destroyed by the bombing. This very real crisis has brought the country to the edge of famine.

Tearfund is still a small player in Yemen, partly because there is very little international funding for the country as it's such a hidden crisis. We have been trying to get supporter donations.

We've established some partnerships on the ground with some amazing organisations who are doing some really incredible work. We are focusing on water and sanitation, because with our relatively small budget it will have a more lasting impact.

We've distributed hygiene packs to families to help reduce the risk of and spread of disease. And we're about to fund a project which creates rainwater catchment rooftop systems, which basically sit on flat roofs and capture water and give families access to safe water for between 4-6 months. We're also looking to partner with other organisations to help them with any expertise they may need in their projects.
