Jannat Foundation for Development is an independent, non-profit Yemeni civil society organization committed to promoting sustainable community development, human rights, and the empowerment of the most vulnerable groups, particularly women and girls, in conflict-affected settings. The Foundation was established in response to growing humanitarian and development needs in Yemen and works to address the root causes of poverty, gender-based violence, and social and economic marginalization.
The Foundation focuses on empowering women and girls through gender-based violence prevention and response programs, psychosocial support, capacity building, and economic empowerment and livelihoods initiatives. In parallel, Jannat Foundation engages with local communities to raise awareness on rights, gender equality, and social justice. Its interventions also cover education, community health, protection, and humanitarian response, implemented in close coordination with local authorities, community leaders, and national and international partners.
Jannat Foundation adopts a participatory, human rights–based approach grounded in the principles of do no harm, accountability, and gender equality. The organization is strongly committed to mainstreaming women’s protection and empowerment across all its programs, in alignment with international standards and the Women, Peace and Security agenda.
