The Humanitarian Forum – Yemen (HFY) is a local, non-profit organization (NGO), operating under license No. (600) issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor in Aden, with its head office located in Taiz. The organization works across all humanitarian sectors throughout the Republic of Yemen.
HFY was established in 2009 to serve as a platform for various civil society organizations working in different fields. It is built on the principle of coordination and cooperation among these organizations to enhance capacity building and implement various programs and activities.
HFY believes in the ability of individuals and humanitarian organizations from diverse cultural and civilizational backgrounds to work together to address the root causes of poverty and injustice globally. Our conviction is that there is a common ground among these organizations, both Eastern and Western, which is our shared pursuit of creating a partnership based on mutual trust and respect. We believe this collaborative relationship will play an unprecedented role in combating poverty and increasing the volume of aid. We achieve this by attracting support from local humanitarian and development organizations, leveraging their deep knowledge of the internal characteristics of their communities. This local knowledge and expertise are crucial for effective global humanitarian work. Since its establishment, the Humanitarian Forum – Yemen has been committed to humanitarian work in Yemen, aiming to assist communities affected by crises and disasters. We work to provide both humanitarian aid and sustainable development, striving to create a lasting positive impact on the lives of the most vulnerable groups.
