Our team on the ground

Our field workers are based in some of the most remote and challenging locations around the world. They provide emergency relief and long-term support to those affected by disasters and conflicts, using their wealth of experience and knowledge to provide the best possible care.

Program managers ensure that our aid is delivered effectively and efficiently. By working closely with our field workers and local partners, they ensure Islamic Relief designs and implements programs with the greatest impact.

Support staff is the backbone of our operations, working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly, so our team can focus on delivering aid to those in need.

We are proud of the work of our team and their continuing commitment to make a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
