Our vision:

Our mission:

- Inspired by Islamic values, Islamic Relief work to:

- Assist individuals, groups and institutions to develop safe and caring communities.

- Help the poor to enjoy self-reliance, with dignity.

- Make it possible for those who wish to support others to reach people in need of their help.

We do this by:

- Providing assistance regardless of race, colour, political affiliation, gender or belief, and without expecting anything in return. 

- Working to mitigate the affect of disasters, preparing for their occurrence and responding by providing relief and rehabilitation.

- Promoting sustainable development through programmes in education, health and nutrition, water and sanitation, and income generation.

- Advocating on behalf of the poor.

- Committing ourselves to harnessing our outputs and outcomes to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

Exemplifying our Islamic values, we will mobilise resources, build partnerships, and develop local capacity, as we work to:

·         Enable communities to mitigate the effect of disasters, prepare for their occurrence and respond by providing relief, protection and recovery.

·         Promote integrated development and environmental custodianship with a focus on sustainable livelihoods

·         Support the marginalised and vulnerable to voice their needs and address root causes of poverty.

"And those in whose wealth is a recognised right; for the needy who asks and those who are deprived" Qur’an 70:24-25
