About Us

Islamic Relief's (IR) vision is a caring world where the basic requirements of people in need are fulfilled. Its mission is to be a worldwide role model, inspired by Islamic values, in:

• assisting individuals, groups and institutions to develop safe and caring communities;
  
• helping the poor and suffering to enjoy self reliance with dignity;
  
• making it possible for those who wish, to support others reach those who need their help.

To achieve this, Islamic Relief raises funds, builds partnerships and communicates key messages as it:

• works to mitigate disasters, prepare for their occurrence and respond by providing relief and rehabilitation;
  
• promotes sustainable development through programmes in education, health & nutrition, water & sanitation and income generation;
  
• advocates on behalf of the poor and suffering;
  
• commits itself to harnessing our outputs and outcomes to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

Islamic Relief does its work without regard to race, gender or belief, and without expecting anything in return.

Work related to Islam and HIV/AIDS is funded and implemented by a consortium of organisations. The contact details of these organisations are provided here.
