Fundraising Volunteer

At this moment in time, humanity is confronted by at least four major, unprecedented challenges; the climate crisis, erosion of rules-based international order, economic inequality, and the ongoing drivers for people experiencing poverty and vulnerability.

Islamic Relief’s 10-year strategy sets out a path as to how Islamic Relief can fulfil our mission and deliver the most significant impact for those that we serve.

Inspired by our Islamic faith and the teachings of the Qur’an, the strategy is guided by the Maqasid Framework. This denotes an Islamic legal doctrine which emphasises the sanctity of every individual’s life and dignity and their rights to security, health, a sustainable environment, food, shelter and clean water.

Over the next 10 years, we will continue our use of the Maqasid framework to tackle some of the unprecedented challenges our world is currently facing, with a stronger focus on the following main themes:

• Reducing vulnerability to humanitarian crises
• Empowering families and communities: food, health, education, and livelihoods
• Addressing global and local root causes
• Raising funds, resources and building the Islamic Relief Family
• Increasing our capacity as an organisation to deliver our purpose

We will also have a greater focus on advocacy. By increasing our advocacy efforts to a global scale and inspiring decision-makers to embrace effective measures that can kickstart real change, we aim to help achieve long-lasting, positive improvements for the communities we serve.

Growing the Islamic Relief family  

We believe it’s our responsibility to embody our  values in every aspect of our work, and by prioritising organisational culture, we commit to fostering greater diversity, equality, and inclusion throughout our entire organisation.

For Islamic Relief to meet the growing humanitarian needs and achieve our goals, it is vital that we grow our Islamic Relief family, building a presence in new markets and strengthening our relationships with funders and supporters.

To rise to the challenges that confront the world we all share, and deliver the changes that the poorest and most vulnerable urgently require, we must be innovative in our programming, bold in our advocacy and fearless in our commitment to those we serve. Our strategy sets out our path. Please join us on it.
