Raising funds to help vulnerable families in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Yemen to establish their own businesses based on their skills and local context.
At Muslim Charity, we are committed to helping break cycles of poverty, and to help people live lives of dignity, safety and security. We know that your help has incredible power to truly uplift people and help them escape the extreme poverty and suffering that they are facing. While short-term interventions such as providing food are important to help people survive, longer-term projects are essential to ensure that people and families do not remain trapped in cycles of deprivation and poverty.
We believe that a form of business startup for families helps them truly be empowered, and gives them the ability to earn a sustainable livelihood that will enable them to flourish. The business startups model provides families with a financial grant that they will use to establish a small business locally. This includes selling fruit and vegetable, opening a small convenience store, establishing a food truck and setting up a pick and drop vehicle service.
In this way, we help families create reliable income in the long term. We focus on supporting women with orphan children or disabled family members, who are often neglected or marginalised.
