STRIVE Yemen

This consortium project, implemented in partnership with Première Urgence Internationale (PUI), aims to deliver a more integrated and multisectoral response across the sectors of health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and food security to reduce malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality among vulnerable populations affected by protracted conflict and the deteriorating economic situation in the governorates of Aden, Taiz, and Lahj.

The humanitarian crisis in Yemen remains one of the most severe in the world, driven by protracted conflict, large-scale population displacement, and extreme levels of malnutrition, all compounded by the deterioration of health infrastructure and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services. According to the 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), 22.3 million people require humanitarian assistance, including 18.3 million experiencing food insecurity, among whom 2.2 million children under the age of five are suffering from malnutrition. In addition, water scarcity continues to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis: 14.4 million people require WASH assistance, while inadequate WASH infrastructure and increasing climate vulnerability heighten the risk of waterborne diseases.

In 2025, an estimated 19.5 million people across Yemen were in need of humanitarian assistance and protection services. In 2026, this figure increased by an additional 2.8 million people (HNRP 2025).

The project is grounded in a long-term approach that strengthens the humanitarian-development nexus by linking emergency response, rehabilitation, and sustainable development. Through close coordination, TGH and PUI address urgent needs in WASH, health, nutrition, and food security while laying the foundations for the resilience and long-term recovery of the targeted communities.

Triangle Génération Humanitaire is drilling new boreholes to ensure immediate access to safe drinking water and rehabilitating water supply systems and sanitation facilities in schools. In parallel, a school feeding programme is being implemented in the schools targeted by the WASH activities, providing children with a balanced and nutritious daily meal.
