Yemen Crisis
Campaign by CARE International UK (RCN 292506)
After six years of conflict, the war in Yemen continues as millions of people face not only displacement and hunger, but the threat of coronavirus as well.

Story

I will be cycling 896km across 26 sussex towns in 35 days. I will be cycling from a town beginning with A and finishing with a place beginning with Z. I am doing this to raise funds for The Yemen Crisis, the UN have described this crisis as 'the world's worst humanitarian crisis' with 21.2 million people require urgent humanitarian assistance, 9.9 million of whom are children. This is four fifths of the entire population.

I will be fundraising via CARE who are focused on helping the most vulnerable people in Yemen, through distributing food to families in need, and cash vouchers so that families can purchase for themselves the food they need.Over a year of fighting and fuel shortages has destroyed water pipes and water pumping facilities, so CARE is rehabilitating water sources and providing water tanks so women and children can get safe drinking water without having to travel long distances.CARE is also providing hygiene kits, paying special attention to womens and children's needs.

I am thankful for you reading this story and appreciative of any donations.
