For many Yemeni, a daily meal cannot be guaranteed and acute malnutrition is evident among IDPs.
In 2014, Gift of the Givers established a new kitchen within an orphan’s centre in Hodaidah, preparing and serving daily meals to orphans, the elderly, those occupying the central prison and those in a juvenile care-home from this base.

Additional beneficiaries of this feeding scheme include:
