Inspiration in Yemen

I just came back from my fourth visit to Yemen in the space of a year, where THF organised five humanitarian operational partnership workshops. Our philosophy leads us to engage with communities on an operational level.

I felt the workshops were based on a two-way inspirational process: we were inspired by the ability of the local community to grasp and deliver, to draw a problem tree and identify potential solutions. The community leaders showed a willingness to rise by learning from an organisation from the international community. Inspiration flowed without barriers or gaps and we managed to create a more inclusive “US”. 

I believe that within the next few years we’ll see more powerful CSOs and humanitarian leadership in this area. Yemen is a fertile soil, which lacks irrigation. Our duty is to make it bloom.
