ABOUT FMF

The Field Medical Foundation (FMF) has been operating in Yemen since 2012, even during the most dangerous peak of the conflict in the region. Our staff of dedicated professionals and passionate volunteers are the helping hand that delivers aid from local and/or international partners to those who require it the most, in a country that was already suffering before the war.

To date, we have helped humanitarian aid reach the hands of more than 9 million vulnerable people in Yemen, helping them not only to survive but also to rebuild their lives. We aim to provide a comprehensive approach to aid through interventions, which is why we work in almost all sectors of international emergency relief.

• FMF provides a work environment free of sexual exploitation, abuse, discrimination, and all forms of harassment and abuse.
• We undertake rigorous procedures to ensure that only people suitable to work with children and adult beneficiaries are allowed to join our organization. Our selection process, which includes rigorous background checks, reflects our commitment to the protection of children and adult beneficiaries from abuse.
