“ Reducing global poverty is
an international priority. By managing the dispensation of aid efficiently
and productively in line with the ideals of Islam, Muslim Aid Asia
aims to set the standard in combating poverty in Southeast Asia
and the Far East. ”
Muslim Aid Asia is the official representative
office of Muslim Aid Australia, an international aid relief and
development agency that works to eradicate poverty and alleviate
human suffering in the world’s poorest communities.
Muslim Aid has worked for decades to deliver urgent aid to the world’s
most distressed and poorest people across all continents, regardless
of race and religion. Although we are an Islamic body, our aid crosses
all boundaries.
Nevertheless, it cannot be denied
that Muslims make up the largest number of the global disadvantaged,
and one of our paramount roles as an Islamic charity is to extend
a helping hand to our fellow Muslims.
One of the motives behind the formation
of Muslim Aid is to highlight the plight of these global Muslims
and ignite compassion, empathy and the willingness to help among
affluent Muslims in developed nations. Furthermore, Muslim Aid aims
to nurture a charitable mindset among Muslims globally by making
donations easy and secure through online credit card payments and
bank transfers.
You can be rest assured that we do
not condone terrorism, violence or any form of subversive activities
and that monies raised are used to fund aid and sustainable development
activities that are fully in line with Islamic guidelines and best
ethical practices.
We also subscribe to international
standards of transparency and disclosure, and aim to operate efficiently
and productively. Currently, only 14% of funds raised are used for
administration and 3% for fundraising while the remaining 83% is
used solely for aid relief. This is one of the most efficient costs
to aid ratios within the charitable organisation sector.
