Core offering

BCHR is a Yemeni non-governmental, non-profit humanitarian organization that implements field-based humanitarian relief and development projects. It delivers food security assistance, emergency shelter and non-food items, water/sanitation/hygiene (WASH) interventions, education support, livelihood improvement, protection services, rapid response mechanism (RRM) activities, and fisheries sector development for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict-affected host communities. Projects are funded by international donors and UN agencies and executed through BCHR's own field teams and community committees across Yemeni governorates.

Product overview

BCHR is a non-profit humanitarian organization that does not operate as a technology company or offer software products. Instead, it provides a portfolio of humanitarian aid programs and development projects focused on relief and sustainable development in Yemen. The organization operates across multiple sectors including food security, shelter, WASH, education, livelihood improvement, protection, and fisheries development. These programs are implemented in partnership with international organizations such as WFP, UNICEF, UNHCR, FAO, KSrelief, and Oxfam, and are funded by various humanitarian donors.
