1989 - Scaling Emergency Aid

1989 – Scaling Emergency Aid 

Droughts and civil wars left millions across Ethiopia, Angola, Mozambique and Sudan facing famine; Muslim Aid continued to send tents, blankets, food and medicines and, by this time, had distributed over £1 million of emergency aid internationally.  

The organisation also launched a Sponsored Orphan Scheme (initially helping 76 children in six countries) and began prioritising longer-term programmes in education, health and livelihoods as relief work matured into development.
