United For the Needy
Muslim Hands South Africa is an international aid agency and NGO established in South Africa in 1996. It is affiliated to Muslim Hands established in 1993 in Nottingham (UK) as a response to the devastation of the Bosnian war. It grew from this grass roots movement and since these first efforts, we have responded to countless more emergencies, as well as establishing long term projects such as schools, healthcare clinics and livelihood programmes worldwide.
We work closely with our partners and offices on the ground, therefore are able to distribute aid in an effective, efficient and transparent manner and make an impact on the communities we work with.
We are passionate about working beyond the provision of immediate relief, towards supporting communities over the long-term and are dedicated to tackling the root causes of poverty around the world.
