Nabd Organization - NDEO

What Nabd Organization - NDEO does

NDEO (Nabd Organization) is a Yemeni humanitarian non-governmental organization founded in 2019 and headquartered in Sana'a. The organization delivers multi-sector humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected populations, with operations spanning food security, health, nutrition, shelter, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), education, protection, and — more recently — climate action across multiple Yemeni governorates including Al Mahwit, Hajjah, Amran, Dhamar, Ibb, Marib, Al-Jawf, Hodeidah and Saada. As of reporting, NDEO states it has reached 335,255 people across 66 villages through 65 activities, leveraging a hybrid operating model of 25 paid staff and 350 community volunteers, including a Community Health Volunteer (CHNV) network that supports last-mile service delivery in a conflict-affected operating environment where field access is a binding constraint.

The organization operates an NDEO Portal built on the Frappe framework that supports self-service registration for training, volunteering, employment and contracting, integrated with OAuth2 SSO providers (Google, Facebook, Office 365) and Patreon for donation collection. NDEO aligns with international humanitarian standards through membership/alignment with the CHS Alliance and Sphere Standards, which reduce counterparty due-diligence friction with institutional donors.

NDEO's revenue model is grant-funded: institutional partnerships with UNICEF, IOM, Cordaid, Penny Appeal, Pure Hands, Yemen Aid, YHF, ACTI and UNDP constitute the donor base, with technical collaboration from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative. The organization participated in the AidEx humanitarian aid conference in Geneva in 2024 as part of international positioning efforts, and has expanded into adjacent verticals such as solar-energy water-source rehabilitation and a UNDP Youth4Climate program.
