Ma’rib, Yemen 

Amidst the harsh realities of conflict, displacement, poverty and crumbling infrastructure, the mental health and psychosocial well-being of Yemenis hangs precariously in the balance. For many, each day is a relentless battle for survival that exacts a heavy toll on their mental health. Yet, amidst the hardship, glimmers of resilience shine through.
