About us

Our Vision

Inspired by our Islamic faith, we envisage a caring world where communities are empowered, social obligations are fulfilled and people respond as one to the suffering of others.

Our Mission

Exemplifying our Islamic values we will mobilise resources, build partnerships and develop local capacity as we work to:

Enable communities to mitigate the effect of disasters, prepare for their occurrence and respond by providing relief, protection and recovery.
Promote integrated development and environmental custodianship with a focus on sustainable livelihoods.
Support the marginalised and vulnerable to voice their needs and address root causes of poverty.
We work to provide lasting routes out of poverty, empowering people to transform their lives and serving all communities without prejudice.

Our Values

We are guided by Islamic humanitarian values contained within the Qur’an and prophetic example, most specifically:

Social Justice (adl)

Our work is founded on enabling people and institutions to fulfil the rights of people who are poor and vulnerable. We work to empower the dispossessed towards realising their God-given human potential and developing their capabilities and resources.

Custodianship (amana)

We uphold our duty of custodianship over the earth, its resources and the trust people place in us as humanitarian and development practitioners to be transparent and accountable.

Compassion (rahma)

We believe the protection and well-being of every life is of paramount importance and we shall join with other humanitarian actors to act as one in responding to suffering brought on by disasters, poverty and injustice.

Sincerity (ikhlas)

In responding to poverty and suffering, our efforts are driven by sincerity to God and the need to fulfil our obligations to humanity.

Excellence (ihsan)

Our actions in tackling poverty are marked by excellence in our operations and conduct which is deserving of the people we serve.
