Islamic Relief in Yemen
Islamic Relief (IR) has been working in Yemen since 1998 on Ramadhan and Qurbani projects. In 2003 IR registered a field office to implement large-scale projects that would have a long-term impact on Yemen’s development.
Projects include water, health, orphans support and building partnerships between Muslim organisations and other aid agencies working in Yemen.
