After five years of conflict, most of the population in Yemen needs humanitarian assistance. They have a lack of basic healthcare, severe food shortages and limited clean water.

On Saturday the 8th of August we will be completing a coast to coast cycle from Watchet to West Bay, I chosen to support Care International because of the crisis in Yemen.

CARE is focused on helping the most vulnerable people, 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.

Thank you for reading, xoxo
