What we do

        WHO WE ARE

        ITDC was founded in 1969 as the “Swedish Center”, a vocational center focused on poverty reduction, and community development. Over the subsequent decades ITDC left a legacy of improving the lives of Yemenis across multiple generations. 

        During the following years, and particularly with the onset of the civil war in 2015, ITDC has expanded its activities, programs and geographic areas to include a wider spectrum of relief, recovery and development programming across multiple governorates of Yemen.

        Providing Relief Assistance

        We provide urgent and temporary provision of humanitarian assistance to reduce immediate suffering and save lives during times of crisis.

        Recovery Opportunities

        As the crisis comes to an end, we seek to restore people and their communities to the positive elements of their pre-crisis conditions by supporting them in their own recovery.

        Holistic Development

        Alongside individuals and communities, we create journeys toward sustainable relationships with each other, their community, and the environment while transitioning from poverty or despair to holistically wholesome lives.
