Urgent: You can help Mercy Bakery bake and deliver fresh bread to starving families in Yemen

15+ million people in Yemen go hungry each day. 3 million have had to run from their homes. 

People are calling this the worst humanitarian crisis in human history. It’s becoming the worst famine in 100 years.

And it’s been happening for 2 years now. It doesn’t look like it will end anytime soon. This problem is not going to go away. Not without outside help.

So what can we do? 

We are halfway across the world. No matter what we do, we cannot stop the fighting and the reasons that they are starving in the first place.

We can feed them, though. And we don’t have to just drop off bags of rice and lentils. 

What if we could actually bring them food that was still warm, ready to eat? 

How about fresh bread?

Well guess what, we’re already doing that. All you have to do is help us.

In August 2018, Mercy Bakery opened its doors and began working hard baking bread to serve the starving families in Yemen.

Watch the video of how we fixed up the location and how our bread-making process works:

In August of last year, we opened our doors to a bakery like no other. It wasn’t a new business, and it wasn’t a food donation drop-off site.

I mean, what good is a bag of rice if you don’t have a pot to cook it in, or a stove?

It was a free bakery, baking bread for the starving families of Yemen.

In Sana’a, Yemen, people flocked to the new location, and came away with bread for their families. A kitchen was added next door within months offering meat, sauce and rice packets.

Now families in that neighborhood can get a fresh meal of fried chicken, rice and sauce, and fresh, warm bread straight from the oven.

Consider how much of a delight it is for your mother to not have to cook and enjoy a nice meal.  How much more joy must there be for a struggling Yemeni mother, to have food prepared and ready to eat with her whole family. 

This is the difference between dry goods packets, and fresh-cooked food. A starving mother may have just enough energy to hold her child, let alone get up and cook for him.

This is why we wanted to go a step further, to actually prepare the food. We know the people, and we know the situation. The workers that run our locations are orphans from Yemen, intimately aware of the hard life that faces their people.

It is a labor of love and we don’t wanna stop doing it.

But there is no much more to do.

We not only want to stop this famine in Yemen, but we envision a world where every struggling community has a free public bakery with access to fresh-baked bread.

We cannot do this without you. We have our volunteers, and we have the resources on the ground.

We need your help to continue our work, and spread through Yemen, and ultimately the rest of the world!
