Our work

Where your donation goes, and what it does

We work in two places, Bangladesh and the UK, on three things that every family needs: food, clean water and safe shelter.

Our work in Bangladesh

Many families in Bangladesh struggle with extreme poverty, limited access to clean water and unsafe homes. Our teams work directly with local communities to deliver essential aid where it is needed most.

Our work in the UK

Right here in the UK, thousands of people face daily challenges that often go unseen. From Wanstead in East London, we work with local communities to restore hope and reduce the stigma of asking for help.

Food security

We distribute nutritious meals and essential food parcels to families facing chronic shortages in Bangladesh, and emergency food packages to people in need in the UK.

Clean water

We install and maintain water pumps and filtration systems so communities in Bangladesh have access to safe, reliable drinking water close to home.

Shelter and safety

We build and repair homes for families living in unsafe structures, giving them secure shelter and a foundation for a better future.

How your donation reaches a family

We keep the journey from your gift to the people we serve short and visible.

  1. 1

    You give

    Donate online by card, monthly or one-off, or by bank transfer. Mark your gift as Zakat and we track it separately from Sadaqah and general donations.

  2. 2

    We direct it to the programme

    Your donation goes to food, water, shelter or UK support. Because our running costs are covered separately, the whole amount reaches the programme.

  3. 3

    Our teams deliver

    In Bangladesh our teams work directly with local communities to deliver aid where it is needed most. In the UK we work through community centres, mosques, churches and grassroots groups.

  4. 4

    We show you the result

    We share photos and videos of the work on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, and publish project updates on this website.

Help us reach the next family

£5 feeds a family for a day in Bangladesh. £25 gives a household clean water for a month.
