Children Food Packs & School Meals Project

Sansaar Care provided targeted charitable funding to Islamic Help to support the Food Packs & School Meals Project in the Makbanah District of Taiz Governorate, Yemen.

The project was successfully completed on 06 November 2025 and was explicitly designed to address child hunger and food insecurity in a context of prolonged conflict and extreme poverty. The support enabled the delivery of emergency food assistance to vulnerable families and nutritious school meals to children, ensuring that children’s immediate nutritional needs were met both at household and school level.

Identified Need and Context

Yemen continues to experience one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises, with children among the hardest hit. Prolonged conflict, economic collapse, and displacement have left many families unable to meet basic food needs.
Children in Taiz Governorate face:

• Chronic food insecurity and malnutrition
• Interrupted education due to hunger and poverty
• Increased vulnerability linked to displacement and household instability

Sansaar Care identified a clear need to support child-centred food interventions that would both alleviate immediate hunger and help children remain engaged in education during a period of sustained crisis.

Beneficiaries and Public Benefit

The project directly supported 177 people, of whom 140 were children, making children the clear primary beneficiaries of this charitable activity.

Beneficiaries included:

• School-aged children receiving daily meals to support attendance and learning
• Children living in highly vulnerable households, including Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)

Public benefit was delivered through:

• Protection of children from hunger and nutritional deprivation
• Improved concentration, wellbeing, and school attendance
• Increased stability for families centred on children’s needs
   

Support Delivered

Islamic Help delivered the project between 01 November and 06 November 2025, using Sansaar Care’s donation to provide:

• 10 food packs distributed to the most vulnerable households, including IDP families with children
• 105 school meals provided to poor and food-insecure students over a three-day period

Food packs contained essential staples designed to support family nutrition, while school meals ensured children received regular, nutritious food during the school day, directly supporting learning and development.

Outcomes and Impact

The child-focused outcomes of the project included:

• Immediate reduction in hunger affecting children in vulnerable households
• Improved school attendance and engagement among children receiving meals
• Enhanced dignity and wellbeing for children living in conditions of hardship
   

By addressing both household food insecurity and in-school nutrition, the project delivered short-term protection and longer-term developmental benefit for children.

Risk, Safeguarding, and Governance Considerations

Islamic Help managed delivery through experienced local teams, applying safeguarding, dignity, and accountability standards appropriate for work with children and families in conflict-affected settings.

Sansaar Care’s governance role included:

• Ensuring funds were applied to explicitly child-benefiting activities
• Retaining written confirmation of delivery and outcomes
• Managing delivery risk through partnership with a regulated, experienced charity

Safeguarding responsibility for direct implementation rests with the delivery partner.

Learning and Future Application

This case study demonstrates Sansaar Care’s commitment to:

• Prioritising child nutrition and education in humanitarian contexts
• Supporting interventions that address both immediate survival and longer-term child development
• Partnering with organisations capable of delivering measurable child-focused impact

Learning from this project will inform Sansaar Care’s future decisions on integrated food and education support for children affected by conflict.
