Muslim Aid is tackling the root causes of poverty through a series of long-term programs such as water provision, education, income generation and health care. And, by responding rapidly to emergencies Muslim Aid provides relief to victims of natural disasters, wars and famine.

Funds are generated through its offices in Australia, UK and Germany. Development work is carried out through its field offices in Bosnia, Bangladesh and Sudan and through growing partnerships with local organizations and NGO's, allowing us to respond quickly to emergencies, assess real local needs and keep administrative costs low.
