CARE started implementing programs in Yemen in 1992 and now has a long history of implementing both development and humanitarian programming to increase people’s ability to cope with the current crisis, whilst also being more prepared for future crises. Since 2011, when the situation in Yemen began to deteriorate, CARE was well-positioned to begin scaling up its humanitarian programming.
Currently, CARE Yemen aims to ensure that vulnerable households and communities affected by conflict, displacement, and natural disaster become resilient through increased access to humanitarian assistance, basic services and livelihoods programming that is reinforced by rights-based advocacy to ensure social justice.
