Fundraiser Dinner for Yemen

In support of UNICEF and their work helping children affected by the famine crisis in Yemen

Venue: The Trading Circle, 26 Lackey St, Summer Hill, NSW 2130
Cost $35

We will be served a delicious Iraqi meal by the lovely chefs at Four Brave Women in Summer Hill. Four Brave Women is an initiative of The Trading Circle that works to empower refugees to be able to operate and grow their own small business. The aim is to give refugees a live experience of working in a commercial kitchen, serving customers and managing the day-to-day running of a small business in Australia.

The menu will include Biryani (rice dish with vegetable or meat), Falafel, Kubba (Meat kebbas), Eggplant and tomato stew, broad bean and peas stew, dolma (stuffed vine leaves) and salad. Gluten free and vegan options available.

Yemen, in the Middle East, is experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Today, more than 11 million children - nearly half the entire population of Australia - are in dire need of food, medical treatment, education, water and sanitation. One in three children in Yemen are on the brink of famine. An estimated 1.8 million children are acutely malnourished - that includes 400,000 children under five who are fighting for their lives and suffering severe acute malnutrition. War has forced more than half of the country’s health facilities to close due to being damaged or not having staff to operate them.

UNICEF is one of the few international aid agencies working in Yemen to get these millions of children and their families the humanitarian support they so urgently require, delivering the essentials like medicine, food, clean water to thousands of Yemeni children.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to UNICEF Australia to support humanitarian work for children affected by the ongoing famine crisis in Yemen.
