DFID does not fund any programme specifically providing prosthetic limbs to people in Yemen. However, between 2010 and 2018, DFID has funded the Yemen Social Fund for Development (SFD) with over £108 million. This includes support to SFD’s disability programme, which has supported more than 2,500 children with disabilities, trained over 300 community-based rehabilitation workers, and equipped more than 80 community-based rehabilitation facilities for children with disabilities.
