"Really hard to find the words to describe what this trekking challenge in Cambodia was like.

The distance and terrain, even with ascending and descending the mountain, were manageable bit in 35 degree heat, jet lag and mosquitos really added a whole other dimension.

There were times I genuinely thought I couldn't continue, when my hands and arms swelled up so much I had to have my bracelet surgically removed, when the bucket shower in cold water just wasn't cutting it, but I did keep going. I kept going for everyone at Al-Sabeen Hospital, Al-Thawra Hospital, at Al-Kuwait and Republic Hospitals in Sana'a in Yemen.

For the incredible medics there, the babies, children and families who will benefit from the funds we send and continue to need the care that the hospitals provide.

I consider myself blessed to have been able to do this one small thing that will allow big things to happen in Yemen for these families... in a place I've never been to and for people I'll never meet"

UPDATE FROM FUNDRAISING TREK IN CAMBODIA!

Christiana, one of our trustees is in Cambodia with all the giant snails - 5inches long - mega-milipedes, knee high mud, toilet blocks with resident poisonous snakes and beautiful temples....

Yes, she's got golfer's vasculitis (google it), yes the jungle is deafening at night with creatures, yes she has met some amazing Cambodians and is enjoying getting to know the members of the trekking group.... yes she's got 3 more days walking before they reach Siem Riep.... but she has her family bags of jelly babies, toasted almonds, neck fan, and anti-chafing products with her!!!! 🤓

You can sponsor her by following the link in our bio, all the proceeds from this trek are going towards IV pumps for 4 hospitals in Sana'a in Yemen through Habibti Liverpool.

Last month was the Squash Autumn Harvest Fundraiser - the 10th one - and it was truly special.

It's always special, tbh but there was something extra special about marking the 10th one, with the usual wit, sense of drama, anecdotes, and megalolz too. There were quiet moments of reflection on the destruction of seeds banks in the Occupied Territories of the West Bank in Gaza alongside marvelling at Malik's chili plants (surely the best looking plants in history) and locally produced produce as far as the eye can see.

It is notable that even in times when so many people don't have much if any cash to spare, a group of friends and family will still get together to bid on gorgeous items and that this effort can raise £3080 in a few hours.

This money will be shared between Merseyside African Caribbean Centre, Squash Soup it Forward Programme, Local Palestinian Seed Bank via Exeter Seed Bank, and us, Habibti_Liverpool.

A colossal thank you to everyone at Squash, to all the growers and makers who contributed to the auction and to everyone who showed up and joined the fun as always. Also, to the kitchen staff who were run off their feet....

Special shout outs to Anita, Clare, Becky, Jordan, Edi, Becky, Helen, Jackie, Fatima, Lis, Mariam, Tayieba, Amina, Saba, Grindl, Janet, Jordan, Malik and all the crew ######

Thank you to everyone who came along to our food sale yesterday . What a day!

Immaculate vibes, the best people and some seriously good food.

And the best bit? That £1115 was raised for the Pump It Up To £5k campaign, to purchase much needed syringe pumps for four hospitals across Sana’a.

See the impact we can make from halfway across the world? It’s astounding and inspiring.

Thanks in particular to our super volunteer . Love you ❤️

In the old days, when we still had our stall on Granby Market, every market day was lolz. If the weather wasn't beautiful and sunny, it was POURING with rain, never anything in between.

This photo is of 2 of our charity trustees. Christiana, on the right there, modelling a pink plastic waterproof that she eventually sold to someone who didn't want or need a waterproof....

So, in typical Christiana style, she's heading off to trek 94km over 5 days through the jungles, forests and mountains of Cambodia. It's self-funded, and all the money she raises from sponsors like you, will go towards buying infusion and syringe pumps at 4 public hospitals in Sana'a, Yemen. The pumps will cost around 7250 USD and can be sourced locally in Yemen.

Head over to Christiana's crowdfunding page to sponsor her and maybe leave her some words of encouragement too. Tbh, she's become extremely unsociable this year as she's been so focussed on her training. We might even say she's been a training-bore. So let's make sure she reaches her target!!!!!!!

Back in the days when we still had our stall on Granby Street Market it was lols all the way most of the time.... it was either madly sunny or absolutely throwing it down with rain.... never just normal.

This photo shows 2 of our charity trustees Saba and Christiana, that time Christiana modelled this pink waterproof live in the market and eventually sold it to someone who didn't even need or want a waterproof!!!!!

So, for the last nearly a year, Christiana has been training for a 94km trek from Siem Reap to Angkor Wat over 5 days through forest, jungle, paddies and even a mountain for good measure. She's been completely anti-social all year, avoiding doing anything that gets in her way of training for what is sure to be a really taxing trek.

All the money that Christiana is raising will go towards the provision of new IV pumps in children's and maternal hospital departments in Sana'a in Yemen. Our clinical colleagues on the ground have identified these infusion and syringe pumps as priorities for the hospital departments we support. Infusion pumps deliver small volumes of fluids such as medications or nutrients from a bag into a patient's body over a specific time. Syringe pumps deliver small, highly concentrated fluids from a syringe for microdosing or subcutaneous injections.

The infusion pumps and the syringe pumps will cost a total of 7250 USD and they can be sourced locally in Yemen.

We've recently had a lot of new followers! Hi! Asalamalaikum! Welcome! Marhaba!

Thought we'd go back to basics about what Habibti Liverpool does and why....

Habibti Liverpool is a registered charity in the UK with the Charity Commission. We're a small but focussed and committed group of friends, families, and supporters who raise funds for and awareness of the work of Yemeni healthworkers in the city of Sana'a in Yemen.

Building on the longstanding work of the Yemeni- Liverpool friendship group, which came out of Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the relationship with local Yemeni families and businesses we work together with 2 Yemeni paediatricians - Professor Najla Al-Sonboli and Professor Nasher Al-Aghbari - to provide expenses for 40 nurses and healthcare workers across 4 public hospitals in Sana'a, Yemen.

Public sector workers such as nurses have not been paid salaries for nearly 10 years. We are able, with the money we raise, to support staff and also pay for some medicines and equipment when we are able to.

NB Habibti Liverpool volunteers in the UK are unpaid, with 100% of funds raised supporting our work on the ground in Yemen. Decisions about which patients are supported are made by clinicians in Sana'a based entirely on assessed need. The 4 public hospitals in the city are accessed by some of the very poorest and vulnerable people in Yemeni society.

Statement from Habibti Liverpool;

Habibti Liverpool was nominated, and selected as a finalist, in the BBC Make a Difference Awards 2025 in the fundraising category. We have, however, chosen to withdraw from the awards and will not be attending the ceremony on Thursday 25th September.

This decision comes as a response to the biased way in which the BBC has reported on the ongoing genocide in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, especially in Gaza. We feel that the misinformation promoted via BBC News and it's editorial decisions reporting on the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people, make it impossible for us to engage any further with the awards process.

As a charity dedicated to supporting families and healthcare in Yemen - also a very fragile conflict setting - we cannot in good conscience align ourselves with an institution that fails to uphold truth and justice for oppressed communities.
