Lifesaving Responses & Psychosocial Support with Malak from Yemen

Entisar walks miles to gather plants and herbs to feed her children, as she has no source of income. Hear how Malak and her team are distributing food aid to women like Entisar and literally saving lives. Malak also shares about another lifesaving response in a rural area, made possible by a health clinic built in a container that was shipped from Texas to Yemen. Finally, Malak tells how her team goes beyond saving lives to reach some of the millions of Yemeni children who have experienced trauma over five years of war. Malak highlights the importance of trauma awareness and psychosocial support training for teachers and parents in Yemen.
