Social justice has been at the heart of Islamic Relief’s work for decades.

This International Archives Week, we’re looking back at some of the people, projects and moments that reflect our commitment to standing alongside vulnerable communities, championing rights and opportunities, and advocating for a more just world.

From girls’ education and women’s economic empowerment to tackling discrimination and climate injustice, these archive records help tell the story of the values that continue to guide our work today.

In Syria we're using 3D printing to provide prosthetic limbs to children!

Since we helped found Al Amal Centre it's helped more than 3,000 people who have lost limbs - like 12 year old Itab who was playing with his friends when an airstrike hit them. Today Itab has a new leg and can play football again, but many more children continue to be injured by explosive remnants of war. The clinic's waiting list is longer than ever.

An Idlib clinic is using digital scans and low-cost manufacturing to produce prosthetics in a country shaped by war.

🌍 Meet Nasheima, our Senior Safeguarding Coordinator!

From supporting staff and rightsholders to strengthening safeguarding practices across our global offices, Nashiema’s work helps ensure people remain at the heart of everything we do.

“What first attracted me to Islamic Relief was its humanitarian mission. I joined during lockdown on a maternity cover contract and, despite the challenges of starting remotely in a completely new sector, I’m glad I stayed the course. Nearly six years later, it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

As a Senior Safeguarding Coordinator, I find my work incredibly rewarding because it directly benefits both staff and the communities we serve. I’ve also had the opportunity to visit country offices around the world, deliver training, and meet rightsholders firsthand, which continually motivates me to improve my work. Over my time here, I’ve travelled to 11 countries and worked with colleagues across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, gaining a fascinating insight into humanitarian work.

For anyone considering a career at Islamic Relief, I’d say keep an open mind. I came for a year and nearly six years later, I’m still here — a sign of just how much I’ve enjoyed being part of the organisation.”
