Please help us by raising awareness, attending the concert and donating to this worthy cause. Continue reading for more information.




The people of Yemen are desperately in need of help. Their nation has been at war since 2015, and Yemen was already the poorest country in the Middle Eastern and North African region. The combination of war, flooding, cholera, famine, and COVID 19 has made the situation of the Yemeni people a dire one. The constant fighting has destroyed their infrastructure, taking away their livelihood, undermining their healthcare system, and destroying their food production. This has unleashed one of the worst humanitarian crises of our decade. In 2017, the UN declared the situation in Yemen to be one of the world's largest humanitarian disasters, and things have not improved since then. 

Yemeni Situation Quick Facts-
          - An already impoverished people have no way to provide for themselves.
          - Their infrastructure, economy, and healthcare system is undermined.
          - They are facing a serious and long lasting famine.
          - Flooding and war has displaced many people from their homes.
          - Poor water resources have resulted in 1.26 million cases of cholera, one of the worst outbreaks of cholera in the world.
          - 10.3 million children do not have enough food to eat.
          - As of 2017, 2.2 million Yemeni children are acutely malnourished.
          - 70% of children do not have access to clean water and sanitation.
          - 27 million are in desperate need of food, medicine, water and shelter. 

Now, in 2020, a people dealing with an already acute disaster are facing the pandemic of COVID 19. The Yemeni people have very little ability to fight this pandemic and desperately need your help.

           What can you do?
           Please join us in raising awareness and money to help the Yemeni people by attending the Yemen Benefit Concert via livestream or join us live at 205 NE Galloway St in McMinnville, Oregon. The concert will be outdoors and social distancing protocols per the CDC will be in place. You will have the opportunity to donate live or on the livestream using GoFundMe. All advertising and activities of the concert are sponsored by the Potter's House Christian Fellowship Church through the MacStage concert venue. 
          One hundred percent of the donations from this concert will be given to help the Yemeni people through Christian Aid Ministries. Christian Aid Ministries was founded in 1981 as a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3), NGO organization. They are actively assisting the people of Yemen by providing life-saving food baskets.
