Islamic Relief

About Islamic Relief

Islamic Relief Worldwide is an independent humanitarian and development organisation, serving humanity for over 39 years. With an active presence in over 40 countries, we strive to make the world a better and fairer place for those effected by poverty, conflicts or natural disasters.

Inspired by the Islamic faith and guided by its values, we believe that people with wealth have a duty to those less fortunate – regardless of race, political affiliation, gender or belief.

The global Islamic Relief family includes national offices, affiliated partners and field offices. We also own a subsidiary company which raises funds for our work by recycling clothing.

Our work

Our projects provide poor people with access to vital services. We tackle the root causes of poverty. We protect communities from disasters, and deliver life-saving emergency aid. We also provide lasting routes out of poverty, and empower vulnerable people to transform their lives and their communities.

Islamic Relief is also a policy leader on Islamic humanitarianism, and our research programmes develop distinctive, practical approaches to the key issues that are affecting our world today.

Our mission

Islamic Relief envisages a caring world where communities are empowered, social obligations are fulfilled and people respond as one to the suffering of others.
