About
Years of war have taken apart the things that keep people alive in Yemen: the hospitals, the clean water, the routes that used to bring food in. Children are reached first by all of it, and malnutrition is what reaches most of them.
UMMA Relief supports clinics and surgical care for children, and delivers food parcels to families in the districts that convoys reach last. We work with Yemeni medical teams who have stayed through all of it.
Your donation pays for a food parcel that lasts a family a month, or for the medicine and equipment a clinic has run out of. Which one it becomes on the day it arrives is decided by the teams on the ground.
Yemen
What Is Happening
A decade of war has left Yemen with a broken economy, a health system running on almost nothing, and millions of people who cannot afford the food that is on the shelves. It is one of the longest emergencies in the world and one of the least reported.
What UMMA Is Doing
We deliver food parcels and fund the medical care people would not otherwise get, working through teams who live in the communities they serve. Your donation pays for supplies and for the treatment behind them.
Common Questions
Is my donation secure?
Card details go to Stripe and never reach our servers. We see the amount, the campaign and the receipt address, nothing else.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Yes, to the extent allowed by law. You receive a receipt for every donation, and all of them are in My Donations, in the UMMA app or your dashboard on the web.
Can I give my Zakat to UMMA?
Yes, and only to campaigns marked Zakat eligible. Zakat is restricted to the categories in Surah At Tawbah (9:60), so UMMA will not let it be applied anywhere else. If no eligible campaign is open, we say so rather than route it elsewhere.
How do you decide where donations go?
Donations go to the campaign you choose, and that campaign shows its own progress. If you donate without choosing one, funds go where the need is greatest at that moment.
Can I cancel a recurring donation?
Yes, at any time, in My Donations in the UMMA app or on the web. No email and no phone call. Gave without an account? The link in your receipt email cancels it.
Something went wrong with my donation. Who do I tell?
Email hello@ummafoundation.org with the receipt number and a person replies. Refunds follow the refund policy on this site.
What happens if this campaign does not reach its goal?
The work carries on with what was raised. Donations are not held back waiting for a total and they are not moved to another campaign: they go to this one, and the progress bar shows exactly where it stands.
What happens if it raises more than its goal?
It keeps accepting donations and the extra goes to the same work. A goal is what we planned for, not a cap on the need, and a campaign that has passed its goal is still the campaign you chose.
