Poverty in Yemen is a complex and challenging problem that is characterized by a lack of food, housing, education, and healthcare. The poorest segments of Yemeni society generally lack access to food security. Additionally, illiteracy is widespread, and a shortage of skills, leading to a lack of self-confidence and an inability to plan for the future and not to mention the difficulty of accessing healthcare and education services. It has been found that the experience of Professor Muhammad Yunus and his comprehensive economic and social development initiative in Bangladesh and other countries around the world, is the most suitable for reflecting on the Yemeni reality. The Grameen Model has been successfully applied in different environments and poor countries. The initiative to establish Grameen Yemen Foundation was launched in 2018 as a Yemeni non-profit organization that simulates the experience of the Grameen Bank, led by Professor Muhammad Yunus, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his efforts to combat poverty in his country and promote social development. Grameen Yemen Foundation began its fieldwork in early 2020 through its branches in rural areas to contribute to improving the living standards of the poor by creating income-generating activities, especially for women. Today, the Grameen Yemen Foundation has become a leading development institution in the field of financing and comprehensive social development through its head office located in Sana'a and its three branches in the north of Al-Hodeidah Governorate, and the presence in more than 145 centers of the institution.
