They are a faith-based British international charity that supports people who are survivors of natural disasters or conflict, or facing from poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, discrimination, homelessness, debt, unemployment, injustice, deprivation or lack of skills and economic opportunities. Muslim Aid funds Afghanaid’s life saving winterisation and earthquake response programmes, supporting families in some of Afghanistan’s most underserved regions during crises with emergency supplies.
