The Yemeni Community Association in Cardiff was established to serve the needs of members of the Yemeni community. The Yemeni community is one of the oldest ethnic groups in Wales and during the 1920s the Yemeni community accounted for half of the ethnic population in Cardiff with around 1500 members, mainly sea-men. Despite this long history the Yemeni Community is one of the main disadvantaged communities in Cardiff. Butetown, Grangetown and Riverside hosts most of the Yemeni community members, with Butetown being the heart of the Yemeni community. Butetown has been identified as one of the most disadvantaged areas in Cardiff. Developing the community is one of the main aims of the Yemeni Community Association. We would like to develop the community through the Yemeni Community Centre. Elderly members, youth, women and children should be able to benefit from the Centre which is located in the heart of the Community, but without the necessary facilities it will be very difficult. We believe the Yemeni Community Association will be able to serve the need of the community by developing its centre and developing activities that enable women, men, youth and children to benefit from new facilities in the Yemeni Centre. Currently, we have children from all areas of Cardiff attending the Yemeni School on Saturdays and Sundays.
