Ummah Welfare Trust is a UK-based international relief and development charity established in 2001. Inspired by the Islamic teachings of empathy, generosity and selflessness, the trust aims to alleviate poverty and suffering across the world.

The rights of those who are neglected and oppressed are fulfilled by providing sustainable development solutions relating to shelter, education, health, and spiritual wellbeing.

This is achieved by:

• Providing emergency relief, such as food and medical aid, to victims of conflict and natural disasters.

• Providing clean potable water by constructing tube wells and hand pumps and trucking water to needy areas.

• Sponsoring orphans and widows and ensuring their rights are fulfilled.

• Reconstructing and maintaining homes, masjids, orphanages and schools.

• Establishing medical and rehabilitation clinics, especially for the treatment of women and children.

• Implementing income generation projects to help victims break their dependence on hand-outs.
