MADE in Europe is a movement of young Muslims fighting global poverty through volunteering and campaigning. "Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change themselves" (Qur'an 13:11)
MADE in Manchester aims to get young people in Manchester and the surrounding areas involved in the great campaigns that MADE in Europe are running. We hope to inspire young people from the commini
ties in our area to make a difference in the world around them and make a change in the fight to end global poverty and injustice. MADE in Manchester aim to run workshops, campaign training days, MADE cafes and much more in order to excite and inspire young people to get involved. We welcome anyone and everyone to sign up and help us raise awareness of these crucial issues. General information
We live in a increasingly unequal and unjust world where basic human rights such as freedom of speech, access to education and free healthcare are denied to millions across the globe. Far from moving towards equality, global inequality is rising. There is a huge gap between rich and poor. Half of the world’s population - that’s three billion people - live in absolute poverty. Inequality and poverty arise from various causes; from restrictive international trade arrangements or unjust power structures, to war and conflict or natural disasters. MADE in Europe believes that the young Muslims of Europe can and must play a part in the global search for solutions. Whether through raising awareness in your communities, volunteering overseas or in the UK, or choosing a career in international development, we believe that we can empower young Muslims to be at the forefront of the global poverty debate, to challenge global norms and to become leaders of social change. Our response to these challenges will be rooted in the tradition of social action, peace, justice, empowerment, human rights and diversity within Islam.
