Introduction to Yayasan Kemanusiaan Muslim Aid Malaysia (Muslim Aid Malaysia Humanitarian Foundation)

Muslim Aid Asia was initially founded in 2004 to provide a platform and a focus for Malaysians, in particular, to join hands with fellow Malaysians and the world community at large, in tackling the persistent and recurring problems of local and global poverty and suffering as a result of natural disaster (flood, earthquake, etc) and human disasters (endemic poverty, civil strife, wars, etc). In 2008, Muslim Aid Asia was officially registered as a foundation organization to serve these goals and now known as Muslim Aid Malaysia Humanitarian Foundation (Muslim Aid).
 
Muslim Aid is a non-political and non-sectarian international aid agency, inspired by Islamic values, to serve the most needy abroad irrespective of religion, race, ethnicity, nationality or political creed. Beneficiaries of whom Muslim Aid take special interest are the orphaned, refugees and internally displaced people, communities caught in cycles of poverty, and survivors of disasters. Overarching our activities is a striving towards a Peace Agenda, a Sustainable Agenda, and a pro Civil Society & Community Empowerment Agenda.

In 2009, Muslim Aid attained the tax exemption status by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) thereby providing Muslim Aid donors tax deductibility for their generous donations.

Muslim Aid is increasingly leveraging the Muslim Aid International network, such as which can be described as having directorate offices in London (MAUK), Sydney (MAA) and Munich (MAG), and Field Offices in place as Bangladesh, Cambodia, Dubai, Gambia, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Sudan. Muslim Aid also partners with many independent in-country NGOs.
