In Yemen, one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world more than 20 million people need
humanitarian aid and protection. The country is exhausted from a civil war that has been ongoing
since 2015 and that has destroyed the lives of millions of people and brought levels of
suffering never before seen. The Covid-19 pandemic has only worsened things, with a death
rate in Yemen that is among the highest in the world. In this context in 2021 we consolidate our
activities of giving urgent humanitarian aid in the area of Ad Dhale and especially by increasing
access to food for the most vulnerable groups of the population, and creating the opportunity
for evacuee children to go to school
At the end of 2021 we started up explorative activities to also respond to the emergency in
Sahel, in particular in Burkina Faso, where a great number of people are displaced, still for terroristic
attacks. Starting in 2022 we have also been active in Slovakia working to help refugees
coming from nearby Ukraine.

Testimonial
It was the middle of the night when we heard them arrive. I woke the children and
with my husband we escaped and hid all night in the forest..
When we got back to the village there was nothing left but burnt remains and bodies
on the ground. We had nothing left. All our things had been destroyed. We were welcomed
by a nearby village but after a little while news came that there were other attacks
near, and so we decided to escape again. We walked for days and days.
