Non-Food Items and Shelter

Yemen Development Foundation, in partnership with the United Nations High 
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), has implemented the Shelter Project in 
Saada Governorate since 2017. And still up to now,provides humanitarian 
aids to the displaced, affected and homelessfamilies in the governorate to
 alleviate their suffering in their places of displacement after they left 
their homes and belongings behind as a result of the war and air raids that threatened 
their lives, safety, security and stability through the followingproject activities:

·         Non Food Items Activity:

Yemen Development Foundation provides Non-Food Items (NFIs) to poor displaced 
families who left their places of original residence due to the war, which 
forced many families to migrate to other, safer places within Saada governorate, 
where the necessary non-food needs are provided from the basic elements of life
 that the family needs on a daily basis as (Mattresses & blankets & kitchen set
 & solar lamp & mats) which help the family to carry out its daily 
enclosedactivities after they left behind all their possessions.

As well as thefoundation provided shelter assistances (atent) for thousands 

of displaced and homeless families who fled fearing for their lives and were 
unable to provide shelter for their members, as the large wave of 
displacement from the districts located on the borders of the Kingdom of
 Saudi Arabia in light of the intense and continuous wars and raids on the
 villages and farms of citizens constituted a great challenge to the 
humanitarian organizations and institutions in the governorate. This activity
 has had a great impact on the displaced families, whether they live in the
 open,laying the ground and quiltingthe sky, or have dwelt in service
facilities such as (schools), or who have had to live with their relatives in
 houses that cannot accommodate more than one family.

Rental Subsidies:

There is no doubt that the war that has been going on for more than five 
years has cast a shadow over all aspects of life, as many citizens were 
expelled from their homes and many families were forced to rent homes to 
accommodate them despite the difficult economic conditions they suffer from.

With the continuation of the difficult conditions and the deterioration of 
living conditions and the lack of sources of income, rents accumulated on
 many displaced families and became unable to pay them, and the demands of
 home owners were repeated for them to pay the rent, which necessitated
 humanitarian intervention from  Yemen Development Foundation (YDF) through
 the activity of cash assistance (rental assistance) to alleviate the suffering
 of the displaced families and pay  some of the rent accrued on them.

Winterization:

Also, many displaced and very poor families are completely unable to buy 
winter clothes and protect their children in the winter from the dangers
 of cold and the diseases it causes that threaten the health of children 
and endanger them, which necessitated the intervention of  Yemen Development 
Foundation through the activity (winter clothes) and the provision of assistance
 to protect displaced families  from the dangers of the freezing cold and its 
effects on the individual family.
