About Muslim Hands
When, in 1993, the Bosnian War brought devastation to eastern Europe, a community in Nottingham, England, was moved to take action. This small team of volunteers started by collecting money, clothes and medicine for the struggling people of Bosnia.
From this grassroots movement, Muslim Hands has grown into an international aid agency and NGO. Since then we have responded to numerous emergencies worldwide, and established myriad long-term projects like schools, health clinics and livelihood programmes.
Muslim Hands was incorporated in Canada as a separate and independent entity in October 2015 and there is a pending application for registration with the Canada Revenue Agency. Delivery of projects outside of Canada is through an affiliated Muslim Hands organisation.
Muslim Hands is determined not just to provide immediate relief but to battle the root causes of poverty worldwide. We work beyond the immediate needs of communities, ensuring they have sufficient support for the long-term.
