Ethar Relief is a UK-based humanitarian aid organisation operating mainly in Sudan, Djibouti and Yemen. Set-up in 2006 it provides humanitarian relief to refugees regardless of religion and ethnicity. Ethar Relief does this by developing and supporting education, water and sanitation, health, shelter and orphan sponsorship projects. Ethar Relief is one of the very few organisations providing aid to the Eritrean refugees. There are now over 500,000 who live in the camps in East-Sudan. The sheer number of refugees has created the one of  the world's largest refugee camps in one area.

Al-Muwassat takes it upon itself to take charge of the whole process of an Eritrean Muslims funeral procedures regardless of their immigration status. Covid-19 has hit the Eritrean community hard and as a result Al-Muwassat. 

The service provided by Al-Muwassat:

– To complete the burial procedure as soon as referral has been made to al-muwassat.

-To contact the relevant official bodies in the hospital, local authority in order to obtain the necessary death and burial certificates.

-To contact necessary organisation /agency to start the burial procedures.

-To bear the complete cost of the burial process in order to complete the process in the fastest time possible in accordance with the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H).

They are currently urgently appealing to finish building their Maghsala, this will reduce the cost of external services by £1000! In the long term they hope to purchase land which will reduce the costs of a funeral from £4250 to £300!

This is our chance to help support and carry the vision of the elders in our community. We are not just ‘giving back’ here - we are securing our future, as we will all inevitably one day have to turn to Al-Muwassat for their services
