About half of the world's population – nearly 3 billion people – live in poverty, on the equivalent of less than 60p a day. These people struggle each day to keep hunger and disease at bay and they have nothing to fall back on in times of crisis. Islamic Aid does much more than feed the hungry. We work alongside families and communities to understand their needs and to help them find lasting solutions to their problems. We aim to expand and replicate our successful projects that include both emergency relief and long-term solutions to poverty. We support projects that provide those most basic and immediate needs like clean water and healthcare and we also help people to change lives for good through training, education and business start-ups. During emergencies we help meet immediate needs but are also there to help people rebuild their lives over the longer term.     One quarter of the world’s population have no access to proper healthcare.
