AMAL YEMEN MOVEMENT
Amal Yemen translates to “Hope for Yemen”. It is a manifestation of collective energy, drawn from a global community of people from diverse backgrounds who share a common interest in assisting others in need and celebrating culture.
It is a spontaneous movement designed to illuminate Yemeni coffee history, culture and arts while raising funds for humanitarian relief efforts.
All funds raised will be donated to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) & Mercy Corps
It is a gathering place for collective sharing of perspective and a vehicle for connecting an international audience to Yemen’s past, present and future through the lens of its legendary coffee industry.
It is an attempt to better understand the dire circumstances Yemeni people are facing due to conflict and catalyze new efforts to address them.
It is an aspirational and unprecedented event. On April 9th, people from around the world will come together to learn about Yemen’s coffee history and current state, get an unflinching and insightful analysis of the crisis and its roots leading coffee personalities, journalists, historians and artists. Critically, this event will serve as a vehicle to mobilise communities towards understanding and supporting coffee’s role in delivering hope and life to millions of Yemenis.
This website will serve as a portal to the event and post event, it will transform into a library of articles, essays, videos, research and other resources intended to foster a more complete and contemporary understanding of Yemeni’s coffee landscape and the complexities of the country’s current situation.
Between now and the end of March there will be a Raffle full of treasures big and small, a stream of content via Instagram to help set the stage for the main event and an open call for donations.
We hope you will join us on this journey.
