Distributing Seedlings

Published : November 8, 2022

Yemen faces significant challenges in food security, with nearly 20 million people, equal to 70%of the national population, experiencing acute food insecurity. Through our seedling distribution project, we aims to contribute to addressing these challenges and promoting sustainable livelihoods for local communities.

We Provided Seeding to Farmers and Citizens to Promote Food Self-Sufficiency and Poverty Eradication

In pursuit of enhancing food self-sufficiency and alleviating poverty, we actively distributed coffee, tomato, and pepper seedlings to farmers and citizens residing in diverse regions of Yemen. This initiative aims to empower local communities by providing them with the means to cultivate essential crops, thereby promoting sustainable livelihoods and contributing to food security within the country.

 

This special celebration was more than just raising a cup; it was a journey of discovery, tracing the story that begins with a tiny bean nurtured in fertile mountain soil and ends with a cup that carries joy, inspiration, and community.

 

Under the theme “The Magical Journey… From Bean to Cup,” the event highlighted coffee as a global symbol of unity — a bridge connecting cultures, stories, and people across continents.

 

Each coffee bean represents dedication, craftsmanship, and passion — from the farmer’s care to the barista’s artistry.

 

One of the event’s most memorable moments was the engaging presence of barista and coffee expert Ammar Al-Ahlasi, who filled the room with enthusiasm and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

 

He came not just to serve coffee, but to share knowledge and unveil the secrets behind this enchanting beverage.

 

Ammar emphasized that brewing coffee is both an art and a ritual — from choosing the right grind size to controlling the water temperature and mastering the pouring technique. Every detail matters.

 

Each drop of water that touches the ground extracts not just flavor, but also a story, a feeling, and a sense of connection — creating a cup that nourishes the soul as much as the senses.

 

In closing, the Y30closing, the Y30 Association, in collaboration with the Y30 Institute, affirmed that this event was more than just a celebration — it was a heartfelt tribute to the timeless values that coffee embodies: dedication, creativity, and human connection.

 

Every cup tells a journey — from the earth to the heart — reminding us that coffee is not merely a beverage, but a way of life.
