Malnutrition Treatment Project
The nutritional status of children in Yemen is increasingly at risk of serious consequences at different ages, with acute malnutrition rates currently at extremely dangerous levels across the country.
According to statistics, only 15 percent of children consume the minimum acceptable food they need for survival, growth and development.
Horizon Foundation, with the support of its partners, continues to implement projects to treat malnutrition in children, with 100 malnourished children benefiting from nutrition sector activities every month.
As part of its emergency interventions, Horizon Development Foundation continues to distribute food baskets to displaced and poor families in Taiz Governorate in its third round.
The project consists of distributing food baskets to beneficiaries.
The project aims to secure the food needs of beneficiaries.
1050 beneficiaries benefit from the project monthly
On Wednesday, June 19, 2024, Horizon Development Foundation successfully concluded its 2024 Eid Al-Adha meat distribution project for the year 1445 , with the support of several humanitarian and relief organizations.
The project benefitted 16,360 families, totaling 114,520 individuals, from poor and needy households in the governorates of Aden, Lahj, and Taiz, areas severely affected by displacement and the challenging conditions resulting from the ongoing conflict in the country.
Horizon Development Foundation aims to promote the principle of solidarity and support affected families in Yemen by distributing Eid Al-Adha meat, which plays a significant role in alleviating the burden of thousands of families, especially in governorates facing high displacement rates and difficult living conditions.
The foundation expresses its deep gratitude to all donors who contributed to supporting this year's Eid Al-Adha project.
It is worth noting that the Eid Al-Adha project is part of the ongoing efforts undertaken by Horizon Development Foundation in various humanitarian and relief sectors across several Yemeni governorates.
Due to the repercussions of the conflict and its negatively devastating effects on health facilities, more than half of the health facilities have been closed. Reports indicate that more than 16 million people do not receive basic health care, of whom about 10 million are in dire need of urgent health care.
Horizon Development Foundation pays special attention to the health sector, providing primary, secondary and advanced health care services targeting the most vulnerable groups, especially the displaced, orphans and people with special needs.
The health sector seeks to expand the scope of emergency response and provide health care through many health activities, which are:
- Mobile medical clinics.
- Free medical camps.
- Distribution of incubators for children and premature babies
