Help Hungry Kids in Yemen

As Mosaic, a group of Coloradoans raised $3,124.98 against a $3,000 goal to help feed starving children and families in Yemen.

The poorest country in the Arab world, Yemen, has been experiencing numerous crises that none of us could ever imagine. 3.6 million Yemenis had to flee their homes to elsewhere in the country, scores of attacks have left half of the nation’s medical facilities in tatters, and a cholera outbreak has sickened 2.3 million Yemenis, killing nearly 4,000. As a result, The United Nations classifies nearly one-quarter of the population of 30 million as malnourished.

According to the UN, Yemen is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world! Then the coronavirus hit, and Yemen hasn’t had a functioning health system facing the pandemic. But the number could be much higher if no one helps them. According to BBC News, an estimated 2 million children are malnourished, including almost 360,000 children under five years old who are struggling to survive. With only half of the country’s 3,500 medical facilities fully functioning, almost 20 million people lack access to quality healthcare. And almost 18 million do not have enough clean water or access to the right sanitation. More than 40% of Yemeni households are estimated to have lost their primary source of income and, consequently, find it difficult to buy even the minimum amount of food, stated by The World Bank.

In partnership with a local Yemeni charity, Embrace Relief distributes much-needed food packages to alleviate hunger and combat wide-spread famine throughout the country. Each package contains 25 kg of wheat flour, 5 kg of rice, 5 kg of sugar, and 2 liters of cooking oil. Most of these packages are delivered directly to the doors of those in need, while families pick up others from our distribution center. With Mosaic’s help, Embrace Relief has been able to distribute a total of 357 food packages to Yemeni families in desperate need.

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE THE JOURNEY OF OUR VOLUNTEER DOCTOR IN AFRICA

Ride with her as she takes you along on her journey.

“My full name is Aydin-Gundogmus Aysana. I am an ophthalmologist from Kazakhstan, the state in Central Asia. I worked as an ophthalmologist at the central clinical hospital in Almaty. I had a wonderful opportunity to undertake an internship thanks to my professor Bagdat Omarovna Suleyeva. I express my deep gratitude for all the hard work and experiences, help and support.

On April 05, 2018, I had the opportunity to undertake an internship in Mali, West Africa, Bamako. What was the idea before my trip to Africa? Of course, I imagined this country as poor, wild, and with a low level of medicine. The country was really poor. Although more modern buildings can be found in the center, these are mainly banks and hotels. I stepped off the plane and my feet touched Bamako’s ground. At that moment I thought that I was very young and inexperienced, and I wanted to fly back home. However, there was professional loyalty and I really wanted to help people. They needed me, I know.

 On the first day, I had a tour of the clinic; it was very different from our clinics in Kazakhstan. Working day from 07:45am to 06:00pm. Depending on the number of patients, it takes 7-8 hours for examination, appointment and surgery. A huge number of patients were waiting for an appointment in the morning at 04:00am, and some slept on the floor of the clinic. The clinic had to operate on average 25-30 operations per day. There are many children with cataracts oculus uterque with overall affection and blindness. Social factors such as poverty, poor housing conditions, poor sanitation, poor nutritional status and difficulties in obtaining qualified medical care contribute to the course of many diseases. It was very difficult for me in Africa, most of the cases our doctors never dreamed of. Despite the difficulties, I felt really needed. The most that worried me was the treatment standards of local doctors. Gentamicin and dexamethasone have been prescribed for children and adults left and right. It is necessary to improve the range of antibiotics, to reduce such dangerous antibiotics. There is no sewage system or water supply throughout the country, hence the constant breakout of infectious diseases. The absence of a specialized ophthalmological service or its insufficient number, as well as the late refer of people to a doctor, also determine the frequency of severe, often incurable pathology of the organ of vision, leading to blindness. I hope there will be funds that help children!

From 2018 to 2020, I have operated on 4,752 patients, of whom 3,616 for cataracts, 851 – glaucoma, 285 – trauma, etc.

Deep gratitude to the manager of the clinic, Kemal Gunes, for his patience and support, but this was not a hindrance, he explained all the points to me, and sometimes several times. Thank you for the opportunity to visit and participate in the work of Africa. Being in Almaty, I miss Africa, the medical staff. If someday there is an offer to help those in need, then I am ready to agree again.”

Saul Vicente (18) Water Well

You have to learn to be happy with what you have. Someone else might be wishing and praying to have something you don’t have. I feel very fortunate for the fact that my family is able to have food on table, a roof over our heads and good health. And if I can help others, I would be more than honored and happy to do so. I started off by donating to Embrace Relief for the water well project but I felt like there was more I could/should do. So now I am hoping/trying to help out as much as I can. This project is named after my father who passed away when I was 1 year and 7 months old. I wanted to dedicate this project to him because I’ve heard from many people that he was a very loving, caring and sweet person. I am now 18 years old and I am grateful for everything/everyone I have in my life . I hope my father and family are proud of me for trying to make a change in the world. This water well project is just the beginning of me making a change for the better. I heard about about Embrace Relief on social media. I hope to make an impact to help provide a village of up to 2,000 people water fresh, useable water.

The Pacifica Institute Women’s League raised $7,278 against a $7,000 goal to help feed starving children in Yemen. As mothers themselves, it broke their hearts to see innocent children lose their lives from such an easily preventable problem as hunger.

Pennsylvania Dialogue Forum Group Fundraising

Every day, the refugee crisis happening around the world becomes more and more dire. Thousands of refugees are seeking asylum, specifically Turkish refugees fleeing to Greece to seek safety and refuge. These refugees flee from violence, war, political, and religious persecution. They have no choice but to uproot their lives and relocate in hopes of finding a better life and future for their children and family. These refugees are in critical need of assistance and help to learn a completely new way of life in order to not only survive, but to also thrive.

Right now, there are thousands of displaced families fleeing from Turkey to Greece. Upon arrival, they are put into refugee camps for a few weeks. After this, they are often displaced again with nowhere to go. The thought of not having a place to call “home” breaks their hearts, as it does ours. Together with our partner Pennsylvania Dialogue Forum, Embrace Relief is calling upon those who have a humanitarian spirit to help provide emergency housing. This housing is often temporary because the refugees flee to other European countries.

The number of displaced refugee families rises every single day and is expected to increase in the coming months. Refugees arrive in Greece with nothing and face the daunting task of finding a place to stay. Furthermore, available jobs are scarce and often impossible to come by, so it is difficult for families to save money or gain capital.

Due to the gracious donors and volunteers, we are able to provide emergency housing, food, healthcare, financial, psychological, and legal support to those who need it most. We now offer English courses to these Turkish refugees through our English Language Conversational Partnerships program. Many want to learn English because it is a prominent language in Europe and around the world, just in case they want or have to migrate to a different country.
