“We started because of the need. And really there was no plan. It was simply the image. People in the hundreds of thousands, dying from famine… It moved me and my colleagues to action.
In 1984, we did not have an office. There was no boardroom, to sit down and discuss and communicate and read. We just had a small donation box on the wall. We did not have any employees, they were all volunteers… But the most important thing in these first few years, was our focus on the needs of the people.”
Islamic Relief started from simple beginnings with a £0.20 donation. Now, by the grace of God, you help us bring joy to the lives of millions.

Beneficiary
We work with the poorest of the poor and those who are most vulnerable in the face of conflict and disaster.
Needs Assessment
Our case workers, staff and volunteers in our field offices around the world are trained to do a careful needs assessment and ensure equity between our beneficiaries.
Project Proposal
The field offices carefully put together project proposals to meet the needs of our beneficiaries, and submit them to Islamic Relief Worldwide to request funding.
Fundraising
Throughout the year, and especially in Ramadan, Islamic Relief Canada collects Zakat and donations to continuously fund projects that assist the poorest of the poor.
Sending Funds
Once donations are collected, we allocate funds to those project proposals by wiring the money to Islamic Relief Worldwide to send to the field offices for immediate implementation.
Your Donation in Action
Your support reaches our beneficiaries in the form of emergency aid, medical care, school tuition, water wells, community gardens, shelter, nutrition, and so many other forms of hope.
Your Impact
Once our beneficiaries receive your support, our work is not over with them. We make sure they continue to receive other forms of support, until they are self-sufficient.
