Who we are-------------Islamic Relief Worldwide is an independent humanitarian and development organization. Founded in 1984, with headquarters based in Birmingham, UK, we have a presence in 45 countries.Inspired by our Islamic values, we support the world's most vulnerable people in the fight against poverty and suffering. We do this regardless of race, political affiliation, gender or belief, and without expecting anything in return. As a registered charity, we are open and transparent. We continually assess our work and how we operate to improve our impact and effectiveness. Islamic Relief has been working in Bangladesh since 1991, when we provided emergency relief and supported communities to rebuild in the wake of a devastating cyclone. Since then, we have expanded our programs to focus on both humanitarian and development challenges.Our vision---------------We envisage a caring world where communities are empowered, social obligations are fulfilled and people respond as one to the suffering of others.What we do----------------Our innovative integrated approach sees us work closely with the vulnerable communities that we serve.

These include livelihoods, food security and community development – as well as child protection and welfare, health and nutrition, water and sanitation, education, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.Our values----------------We are guided by the values and teachings of the Qur'an and Prophetic example.
