NOF Arbaeen Hike - In Support of Orphans in Yemen

In Yemen, 18 million people are in urgent need of clean water. Access to clean and safe drinking water is crucial for their survival and development. Donating just £10 can provide hundreds of orphans and the destitute their basic human rights.

Access to clean water for drinking and sanitation is a basic human right for all. This is because lack of access to safe, sufficient and affordable water has a devastating effect on the health, dignity and prosperity of billions of people, and has significant consequences for the realisation of other human rights (UN). This is why we at Noor Orphans Fund are raising funds to quench the thirst of many orphans and the poor in Yemen. DONATE NOW to alleviate their suffering.

Water crisis in Yemen

Yemen is among the worlds most water-scarce countries. Its acute water scarcity poses a serious threat to the countrys stability and security. The war has undoubtedly had a severe impact on the access to water and adequate sanitation services for the Yemeni people.

According to the UN, only one third of Yemens population is connected to a piped water network. This has led to major outbreaks of cholera and Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD). In the 2017 outbreak, more than 1.3 million people were infected and over 2,800 people died. Children were the worst victims. In 2018, over 361,000 suspected cases were registered, with 493 associated deaths across the country (UNICEF).

Noor Orphans Fund - Water Appeal

Inspired by Imam Hussain (as), Noor Orphans Fund is raising funds this Muharram to provide clean water for the Orphans and the destitute in Yemen.

Clean water in Yemen is purchased from pure water plants and transported in large quantities to water containers in orphanages, small towns and villages. At Noor Orphans Fund we are raising funds to buy large quantities of clean water from these plants to quench the thirst of as many orphans and the poor as possible. The idea is to transport the water to the towns and villages and fill up the water containers for as long as we can. The more donations we receive, the more water we will transport to these towns and villages.

There is an urgent need of safe water in Yemen. Please support our campaign to help the people of Yemen by DONATING NOW.
