Inspired by the Islamic faith and guided by our values, we believe that people with wealth have a duty to those less fortunate – regardless of race, political affiliation, gender or belief. We protect communities from disasters, and deliver life-saving emergency aid. We provide lasting routes out of poverty, and empower vulnerable people to transform their lives and their communities. Our global family includes national offices, affiliated partners and field offices. We also own a subsidiary company based in Birmingham, UK, which raises funds for our work by collecting and recycling clothing. TIC International also conducts food activities, largely related to canned meat for aid purposes. Our work:

Islamic Relief works with communities to strengthen their resilience to disasters, and we provide vital emergency aid when disasters occur. We help poor people to access basic services, including education, water and sanitation, as well as healthcare. We provide lasting routes out of poverty through our sustainable livelihoods schemes. Our integrated approach to development is transforming communities worldwide. We tackle the root causes of poverty and make sure that the world’s most vulnerable people have a strong voice and real influence in both our programmes and advocacy. 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.

"There is fear in every move we make"

Read this powerful interview with two of our team in Gaza, who continue to deliver aid despite ongoing Israeli attacks, blockade and extreme hardship.

✍🏽 One writes: "I am afraid that I will lose one of my colleagues, my life, or my family... People here are still starving, they still don’t have medical supplies. The restrictions are very difficult and challenging and we’re still adapting to the situation.... Maybe after 3 years, Gaza is being forgotten."

On we're celebrating Gaza's inspirational teachers - like Osama, who keeps working to give children hope for a better future despite the enormous challenges.

Israeli attacks over the past 3 years have killed hundreds of teachers and left 93% of Gaza's schools damaged or destroyed. Islamic Relief is supporting 13 temporary learning spaces where 2,500 children have gradually resumed their education - thanks to amazing teachers like Osama.

In we're providing lifesaving healthcare to mothers and young children.

More than 31,000 people have so far benefited from our project to support displaced families, returnees, and local host communities.

The centres provide primary healthcare services, maternal healthcare, nutrition, and psychosocial counselling. We're also running learning sessions for pregnant women and new mothers on good childcare and nutritional practices.

We’re excited to be presenting at the 2026 Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) Forum in Bangkok next week, about Islamic Relief Pakistan's work with faith leaders to develop a new Fatwa Booklet on Child Protection.

Afshan Jamal, Child Protection & Gender Specialist, will be presenting on "Fatwas as an instrument for change", drawing on experience and learning from our partnership with UNICEF Pakistan. Together we've mobilised leading Islamic scholars and Muftis to issue authoritative religious rulings that explicitly address forms of violence that are frequently justified through cultural misuse of religion - such as child marriage and sexual violence.

The fatwas now act as a guideline for communities to act to protect children from harm and abuse.

We're looking forward to sharing more learning and discussion at the SVRI Forum!
