OUR STORY ISN’T OVER YET
As long as poverty, injustice, and inequality persist in Yemen, none of us can truly rest.
Who we are
Learn more about Y30:
Y30 is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded in 2016. With offices in both Switzerland and Yemen, its mission is to help the Yemeni people cope with the consequences of war and build a post-war Yemeni society. Through its various programmes and initiatives, Y30 seeks to improve the lives of communities so that fewer people are dependent on foreign humanitarian aid. To carry out its mission, the association focuses on 3 fundamental priorities: education, agriculture and humanitarian aid. All our projects are carried out by our team based in Yemen, which strives every day to contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1 (No Poverty), 2 (Zero Hunger) and 4 (Quality Education) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. All our actions are guided by a cross-cutting principle: the achievement of SDG 5, gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. Y30 also stands out for its strong involvement in reviving coffee production in Yemen, as we believe that it is through this historic agricultural wealth that the Yemeni people will rebuild their strength.

OUR PRIORITIES
Through its various programs and initiatives, Y30 seeks to improve the lives of individuals and communities. To achieve its mission, the association focuses on several core priorities, all of which are outlined below.
- Sustainable development: Our association recognizes the importance of sustainable development and works to support environmental projects, encourage sustainable agricultural practices, and raise awareness of environmental issues and their impact on local communities.
- Humanitarian Aid: The association strives to assist economically disadvantaged families by providing essential humanitarian aid, including food distribution (such as meals and Eid sweets), blankets, and other vital resources.
- Education: The association firmly believes that education is the cornerstone of positive change. Consequently, it strives to foster sustainable educational initiatives and expand access to learning opportunities for both children and the elderly. Y30 seeks to promote education among women through the establishment of literacy classes in rural areas, as well as through the Y30 Institute of Medical and Applied Sciences, which offers a medical diploma as well as training courses in various fields, including technology, business, and management.

SUSTAINABLE DEDELOPMENT GOALS
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, provides a blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet.
At their heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call to action by all developed and developing countries in a global partnership.
As a result, they recognize that reducing poverty and other deprivations must be accompanied by strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and stimulate economic development while combating climate change and conserving our oceans and forests.
