This summer we will be hiking 14km up to Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales for the purpose of raising funds through Ummah Welfare trust to help the suffering and displaced families in Yemen.

Yemen, the land of faith and wisdom, has suffered huge instability and violence following the Arab Spring in 2011.

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

24 million people are now in need of humanitarian aid.

19.7 million people need basic need healthcare.

Almost 18 million people are in need of water and sanitation facilities.

Women and children in Yemen today are extremely displaced and hungry. It is our duty to come to their aid and support them with that which Allah has granted us.

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

Please contribute what you can, however much or little, to help bring some form of ease and aid to our brothers, sisters and children in Yemen.

Thank you

Asad and Reshma
