“It was frightening for a while. My husband has died long time ago, placing a huge responsibility on me. Financial concerns and taking care of my children weighed heavily on my mind. Regardless of how shackled by heavy burden I was, house rent had to be paid and food had to be put on the table.” Naima expressing her deep pain.
The dominant situation of food security in Aden is either lack of access to food or the affordability of existing food. Hence, food may be available for purchase, but the very poor and vulnerable people are frequently unable to obtain it. Not to mention that food prices in Yemen have recently risen due to variable reasons influencing the country, including conflict and inflation.
During her final year of nursing school, Naima, 45 years old, gradually realized that she got in the middle of the painful truth of her condition. She was unsure whether she could pay college tuition, house rent and school expenditures. Nonetheless, she was struggling to feed her children.
In 2022, and through YFCA’s life-saving interventions, Naima had the opportunity to be registered for the Provision of immediate life-saving emergency food assistance to the most vulnerable acutely in-secured IDPs project funded by YHF in Aden governorate – Yemen.
When she received cash assistance for six rounds, she was able to focus on other critical matters in her life. "the burden on my shoulders lightened, and fortunately, I began to concentrate on my studies." Naima mentioned, gratefully.
Naima's family had an immediate but long-lasting impact as a result of her enrollment in the project, especially after she got graduated from college. "I am glad how we all started eating healthier food; we are talking about fruits and vegetables that we had previously avoided. My kids no longer had to go out looking for work, and they had more time to focus on their studies," she said.
"Everyone in the community should be worried about other people!" Naima shared heartfelt words.
