Help provide 35 Solar Powered Water Wells in Yemen

After raising nearly £400,000 in 4 weeks to provide food packs to families in Yemen, the UK 2 Yemen team are now going a step-further. We are now on a mission to provide clean drinking water solutions to needy communities across Yemen and we need your incredible support once again.

One well costs just £3500. This split between 100 of us is JUST £35 each.

*Ashton2Yemen Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge *

This is an urgent appeal and a humble request to join us in raising vital funds to help provide Solar Powered Water Wells in Yemen.

We will be taking part In the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on Sunday 30th August

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent (694m; 2,227 ft), Whernside (736 m; 2415 ft) and Ingleborough (723m; 2,372ft), which totals up to 24 miles and will need to be completed in under 12 hours.

This is an opportunity for you all to get involved in helping us raise vital funds to aid this project.

The mission is to provide clean drinking water solutions to needy communities across Yemen and we need your incredible support

This devastating humanitarian crisis in Yemen has, for years, gone largely unnoticed. But the world can’t afford inaction any longer — too many lives are at risk.

19.3 million Yemenis struggle daily to access clean water and sanitation. Of these, 50 per cent have been directly cut off from this basic necessity of life. 

As of July 2020, more than 24 million people within the country are in need of humanitarian assistance. 

Yemen is the poorest country in the Middle East, torn apart by conflict and gripped by hunger. People are struggling to survive, severe outbreaks of COVID‑19, cholera and other communicable diseases are ongoing, and the risk of famine looms.

With your support we can make a difference. Each Solar Water Well costs just £3500 to install and will serve communities for more than a decade.
