Yemen, a country where over a third of its population is threatened by hunger, has seen many charitable work from its people, as the poor are willing to help others by giving the little they have.
A Yemeni poor man would give a beggar money, even if his situation is worse than the beggar.
The kind hearts that Yemenis posses could also be used negatively against them. Even with the corruption that takes place in the country, most Yemenis would stay quiet, trying to avoid problems with the government, hoping that justice prevails in the long run.
Over the summer season, thousands of Yemenis have gotten married without paying a single cent, as the rich in the country try to help those who are needy. Yes, we thank them for doing so, but they should not forget that it’s their duty to give back to society.
The Hael Saeed Family is considered the leader of charity work in Yemen, and we thank them for that. They save families from a life of poverty. Over 12,000 families (55,000 people) have free monthly income from the family.
The Islah Charitable Association is a front runner in charity work as well, giving the little it can to those most worthy of it.
The Ahmar family is not so famous for its charity work, but this week Hamid Al-Ahmar sponsored a mass wedding where 60 couples got married.
The Saleh Charitable Foundation, also started increasing its charitable work.
With all those trying to help, millions of Yemenis still fear hunger. If charity work would stop in Yemen, millions more would starve. If international funds end, more would starve as well.
Where is the government in all of this? Is it really trying to end the sufferings of its people? Yes, it is but in a different way. It is buying over $1 billion of weapons while the only enemy it has is within Yemeni territories.
