FAQ

We are adding all questions and answers we get. The more questions that comes, then we will add them here in our FAQ.

Are you doing work on the ground or are you donating the money to another NGO?
Short answer. We are doing ALL the work ON THE GROUND. Mona Relief is a local Yemeni Organization. All the funds goes directly to Mona Relief, and are solely used for humanitarian purposes.

Can i just donate one time?
If you want to donate one-time you can simply do so by chosing to become a patreon, and right after that cancel it. You can also send us a bank transfer. Contact us on Patreon or email info@monarelief.ngo

Why is your name Mona Relief?
Our name, Mona, has a story of its own. Mona is the name of the lady who donated the very first $1000 for us to make our first delivery of food to Internally Displaced Person's (IDPs) in the area of Nuqim in Sana’a. Mona's generosity and spirit of humanity was infectious; she exuded of positivity and compassion. Upon recognizing and appreciating her spirit, we decided to name our organization after her, as she exemplifies everything that is good about humanity.

How many percentage of the aid goes to the cause?
100% goes to aid, especially in the capital Sana'a, but in remote areas and in areas far from the capital, the donation covers 96% and 4% goes to the operational costs such as transportation for the aid from the dealer to the beneficiaries' areas, packing and carrying and the rent of the place to the volunteers stays, who they are going to deliver food aid.

All of us are volunteers, even me.

Where do you buy the food?
From the local markets because Yemen under tough siege, so it cannot be bought outside the country. Also by buying it locally in Yemen we are supporting the local people there already.

Can we send you food and clothing from outside?
Technically, you can, but it needs to be coordinated with UN or OCHA Yemen, and with the authorities here. There is a tough siege so only UN/OCHA can help with this. However, it needs to be in larger quantities for them to be able to help.

Can we send you a bank transfer?
Unfortunately, our bank in Yemen does not allow personal funds. If you send us a bank transfer, it has to be in the name of another organisation or company, otherwise they wont allow it.

How much does it cost to setup a water tank?
Setting up a new water tank will cost around $900. And daily refilling tanks with water costs $10.
