It has never been more important to us to make the most of your mercy as people around the world face a slowing global economy, a spiralling cost of living crisis and escalating human conflicts. Amidst it all, Human Appeal is committed to ensuring your charity is delivered effectively, and we always will be.
We’ve spent the last 32 years doing just that. To every initiative, we bring our operational expertise, our efficient and transparent stewardship and a deep understanding of, and connection with, the issues affecting vulnerable people in each community that we work in. This is what our donors trust and rely on year after year: knowing exactly, what, where, when, for whom and how their mercy is being delivered.
We make the most of your mercy so that we can:
Safeguard bright futures for more than 23,000 vulnerable orphans in 14 countries. Our one-to-one sponsorship programme has a built-in school attendance requirement while covering the cost of food, housing, medical care and learning materials.
Pioneering innovative projects in Pakistan, like our flood-resistant homes that are built to last while offering a dignified living space.
Protecting the health of mothers and their children in Syria by running the only free maternity hospital in Idlib, Syria. By offering free medical care to vulnerable mothers and children, our staff at Al Imaan Hospital provide life-saving care to more than 54,000 patients every year.
Quenching the thirst of displaced families who have fled to the south of Gaza with our large-scale desalination plant, which provides 52,000 litres of clean water every hour.
Restoring safe and secure residential spaces in Syria, like the construction of three new towns providing over 2,270 homes for displaced families – Town 1, Al Zahoor and Al Yasameen.
Such life-changing relief projects require investment, expertise and logistical know-how to realise their full potential. Our staff on the ground are delivering your mercy every single day, all over the world.
Our governance allied to your mercy are a powerful combination that transforms the lives of the vulnerable in our global Ummah.
Our admin fee enables us to make the most of your mercy
We are a high-performing international relief organisation operating in some of the most dangerous, volatile and remote places on earth. To get your mercy delivered to those most in need, we allocate a small portion of each donation towards the custodianship of your merciful donations. We are fully transparent about our admin fee of 6 pence for every £1 donated. We further invest 10p in the £1 to continue raising funds for the charity. Between 2019 and 2022, we grew our income by a huge 222% by raising funds through that small 10 pence. Finally, a full 84p goes straight to our projects in 27 countries, transforming and empowering the most vulnerable communities. A maximum of 12.5% of your Zakat goes to support our admin costs, which covers our monitoring of projects, protection of those we work with and the raising of more funds, helping to keep our projects safe, sustainable and offer the greatest impact. Efficiency and transparency are important hallmarks of how we manage to deliver your mercy and to always make the most of it. That’s why we are diligent in being fully transparent and accountable for every penny we receive from the thousands of generous donors like you.
Charity is a gift, offering endless mercy to those who give, as well as mercy to the vulnerable people who receive it. Our admin fee helps us to get your donation to where you intended it. That’s why we like to think of it as the stamp on the envelope of your mercy. Help us to continue making the most of your mercy and to really make your mercy count.
