The beginning of Muslim Aid 1987-1990
Founded in November 1985, as a response to the famine in Africa, Muslim Aid first began to establish its vision of helping humanity by distributing emergency aid to those affected by famine and conflict.
Thinking long term 1992-1994
As well as providing emergency relief, Muslim Aid develops long term development projects aimed at providing a sustainable living for survivors. Muslim Aid's orphan sponsorship scheme is also started as a response to help the thousands of children left destitute in war torn countries.
Being there in an emergency 1995-1998
Muslim Aid was tested during the most difficult situations in countries such as Bosnia, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo and Pakistan.
Muslim Aid challenged by natural disasters 1999-2003
An earthquake in Gujarat, India; devastating flash floods in Pakistan; a cyclone in Madagascar; and flooding in Cambodia were just a few of the natural disasters that challenged Muslim Aid and our partners worldwide.
Muslim Aid Expand Operations after Tsunami 2004-2007
After the devastating tsunami which struck the Indonesian coastline in 2004, Muslim Aid set up offices in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Cambodia to coordinate emergency relief as well as reconstruction and rehabilitation for tsunami survivors.
