Humanitarian Context

Yemen continues to experience one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises. Years of conflict, economic collapse, displacement, and the deterioration of essential public services have significantly increased food insecurity and limited access to healthcare. Children under the age of five, as well as pregnant and lactating women, remain among the most vulnerable groups affected by acute malnutrition.

SORD expresses its sincere appreciation to GlobalGiving and all humanitarian supporters whose contributions continue to save lives and alleviate suffering. At a time when global food insecurity is increasing, these partnerships provide critical hope for vulnerable communities facing the risk of hunger and malnutrition.

Without timely treatment, children suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) face a significantly higher risk of mortality compared to well-nourished children. SORD therefore remains committed to expanding life-saving nutrition interventions across Yemen as resources become available.

Overall Project Performance

During the reporting period (April–June 2026), SORD implemented nutrition interventions aimed at reducing illness and mortality associated with acute malnutrition among children under five in the targeted communities.

Despite limited financial resources, the project successfully provided:

• Screening and treatment services for malnourished children.
• Nutritional support for pregnant and lactating women.
• Follow-up care for previously admitted beneficiaries.
• Referral services for complicated medical cases.
• Community awareness sessions on infant and young child feeding, maternal nutrition, hygiene, and malnutrition prevention.

The project was implemented using the available resources and donations received through GlobalGiving.

Progress Against Targets

The project was originally designed to achieve the above targets during the implementation period from 1 April to 30 June 2026. However, due to limited funding and available resources, the targets were only partially achieved.

SORD prioritized the implementation of the most critical activities using the financial support available through GlobalGiving and locally mobilized donations, ensuring that the most vulnerable beneficiaries continued to receive essential nutrition services.

Challenges

The project implementation encountered several significant challenges, including:

• Continued deterioration of health services within targeted health facilities.
• Lack of regular salaries for healthcare workers, affecting service delivery.
• Limited financial resources to meet the growing number of beneficiaries.
• Insufficient humanitarian funding and charitable donations.
• Increasing prevalence of acute malnutrition among children and pregnant and lactating women.

Recommendations

To strengthen the project’s impact and address the growing humanitarian needs, SORD recommends:

• Increasing financial support to expand life-saving nutrition services.
• Scaling up therapeutic nutrition interventions to reach more vulnerable children and women.
• Strengthening support to primary healthcare facilities in targeted areas.
• Enhancing community awareness on appropriate nutrition and hygiene practices.
• Expanding partnerships with humanitarian donors to ensure continuity of nutrition services and prevent avoidable child deaths.
