    Islamic Relief’s Work

    Islamic Relief is an international aid agency that works in over 25 countries worldwide.

    Our work covers emergency preparedness, full-scale disaster response, rehabilitation and long-term development projects.

    Over the years IR has provided communities with public services, such as water and education. We have now moved towards a ‘rights-based approach’, helping communities to become self-sufficient and encouraging them to expect their governments to provide adequate public services.

    IR works in partnership with communities, aid agencies, local organisations and governments.
