1. Context Overview

Yemen continues to face one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, marked by widespread poverty, famine, disease, and ongoing conflict. The country suffers from a near-total collapse of basic services and infrastructure. Malnutrition remains one of the most critical challenges, especially among children under five, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. These vulnerable groups face life-threatening conditions daily, with severely malnourished children being nine times more likely to die than well-nourished peersIn this context, GlobalGiving and the humanitarian community have been a beacon of hope. SORD expresses deep gratitude to all donors and partners working tirelessly to alleviate suffering and save lives. 2. Project Objective

To reduce mortality and morbidity associated with acute malnutrition among children under five in targeted high-prevalence areas.
