In partnership with the UN agencies and donors. These partnerships had a positive outcome to the lives of all the targeted groups, and as of today two (2) million individuals are receiving assistance through the society for humanitarian Solidarity (SHS), on monthly basis, and this is a great responsibility we behold. Currently, we are working in 13 Yemeni Governorates, Socotra Island is one of these locations. Herewith, I would like to thank our partners for their support to reach the affected population countrywide. We would like to convey our gratitude and appreciations to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), World Food Program (WFP), and The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), International Organization for Migration (IOM), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and many other donors.
