For You Foundation for Humanitarian Response and Development (FYFHRD) is a local, non-profit, women-led civil society organization established in March 2022 in response to the growing humanitarian and development needs in Yemen. The organization operates within a complex context characterized by protracted armed conflict, economic deterioration, declining basic services, and the disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable groups\u2014particularly women, children, youth, and internally displaced persons.
\nSince its establishment, FYFHRD has worked to consolidate its role as an effective local actor, grounding its interventions in a deep understanding of the local context. The Foundation adopts rights-based, community-led, gender-sensitive, and conflict-sensitive approaches, while adhering to core humanitarian principles, to ensure that its responses are relevant, effective, and driven by the actual needs of target communities.
\nFYFHRD seeks to promote inclusive development and active participation in building a diverse, just, and sustainable society by integrating humanitarian response, development interventions, and peacebuilding initiatives. Through this integrated approach, the Foundation contributes to strengthening community resilience and supporting recovery and adaptation in the medium and long term.
\nThe Foundation actively works to strengthen peacebuilding efforts at the community level, promote social cohesion, and reduce community tensions by empowering community members\u2014particularly women and youth\u2014to engage meaningfully in decision-making processes and address local issues. As a women-led organization, this commitment is reflected in its program design, implementation mechanisms, advocacy tools, and prioritization of women\u2019s local leadership.
\nFYFHRD is also committed to building and strengthening effective partnerships with governmental authorities, the private sector, international organizations, and local civil society organizations through formal partnerships and memoranda of understanding. These partnerships aim to promote human rights protection and support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through coordination, role complementarity, knowledge exchange, and the maximization of collective impact, thereby enhancing effectiveness and reducing duplication.
\nThe Foundation serves as a host and supporter of women-led coalitions and councils, including the Wahaj Women\u2019s Coalition, of which the late Aftehan Al-Mashhari was a member, as well as the Sabr Al-Mawadem Women\u2019s Council. FYFHRD supports local women\u2019s initiatives, strengthens women\u2019s participation in community affairs, and links women\u2019s priorities to humanitarian and development action, particularly in rural and conflict-affected settings.
\nAcross its sectoral interventions, FYFHRD focuses on improving equitable access to quality basic services, especially in key sectors such as education, protection, health, and livelihoods. The Foundation places particular emphasis on rural areas and vulnerable communities, where its programs contribute to strengthening resilience and mitigating the impacts of poverty, displacement, and loss of livelihoods.<\/p>\n
In the education sector, FYFHRD supports continuity of education and the improvement of learning environments through community-based initiatives, psychosocial support activities, awareness campaigns, and partnerships with youth and community initiatives. The Foundation also participates in education field assessments implemented by international organizations and actively engages with the Education Cluster, contributing to sectoral coordination efforts.
\nIn the protection sector, FYFHRD contributes to community-based initiatives aimed at raising awareness of rights and supporting individuals most at risk\u2014particularly women and girls\u2014while adhering to the principles of do no harm, confidentiality, and accountability. The Foundation operates within the framework of the Protection Cluster and coordinates closely with relevant stakeholders to ensure complementarity of efforts.
\nFYFHRD also maintains an active presence within the Health Cluster, supporting community-based health initiatives, mental health and psychosocial support activities, and public health awareness, particularly in underserved areas with limited access to services.
\nThe Foundation places strong emphasis on working with rural women and youth in conflict-affected and marginalized areas, recognizing their critical role in strengthening community resilience. FYFHRD focuses on capacity building, supporting grassroots initiatives, and enabling meaningful participation in community life.
\nIn response to increasing environmental and climate-related challenges, FYFHRD works to enhance the capacity of local communities and local authorities to address environmental and climate impacts through community-led initiatives, environmental awareness, and the promotion of sustainable natural resource management, contributing to risk reduction and the protection of livelihoods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6061,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"give_campaign_id":0},"main_center":[257],"governorates":[266],"sector_of_work":[1112,896,1118,1120],"levelen":[924,685,926,936],"area_of_work_en":[1056,436,1032],"class_list":["post-5970","organizations","type-organizations","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","main_center-taiz-en","governorates-taiz","sector_of_work-fsl-en3","sector_of_work-humanitarian-en3","sector_of_work-prtctn-en3","sector_of_work-wash-en3","levelen-cmnty-engmnt-lcl-dvlpmnt-en2","levelen-developmental2","levelen-edu-voc-tr-en2","levelen-rrl-dvlpmnt-cmnty-infrstrctr-en2","area_of_work_en-supporting-civil-rights-defenders-en1","area_of_work_en-womens_and_human_rights-en","area_of_work_en-women-economic-social-empowerment-en1"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/organizations\/5970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/organizations"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/organizations"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"main_center","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmain_center&post=5970"},{"taxonomy":"governorates","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fgovernorates&post=5970"},{"taxonomy":"sector_of_work","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fsector_of_work&post=5970"},{"taxonomy":"levelen","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Flevelen&post=5970"},{"taxonomy":"area_of_work_en","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ye-nngof.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Farea_of_work_en&post=5970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
