HealthyGirl: Islamic Relief

HELLO my blossom girls, i will like to tell you about Islamic Relief and what Islamic Relief does.

Islamic Relief is an international aid and development charity, which aims to alleviate the suffering of the world's poorest people. It is an independent Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) founded in the UK in 1984 by Dr Hany El-Banna, Dr Essam El-Haddad, Dr Mohammed El-Alfy and Dr Ihsan Shabib.

The mony that you give is spend on people in need .

how do they use it :

90% goes directly on emergency relief and development projects, directly helping people in need

4% supports and the delivery of relief

Islamic Relief has a permanent presence in over 40 countries, which means that if there is a disaster, it is a lot cheaper and quicker for us to provide emergency relief, resulting in a more effective use of donations.

Through this support and governance structure, they are able to gain institutional funding, which can enable us to turn a £1 into £5, as they did recently in Kenya for a nutrition project.

3% goes into campaigning on essential issues

They work towards longer lasting solutions to poverty like helping push the government to drop the debt on poorer countries.

3% is used to generate future income

This enables us to raise further funds so that we can help more people in need.
