Get your friends involved! 

If you and 9 friends gave £30 per month we could build a water well in Ghana or Gambia! Such a well can provide safe water for up to 2,000 people, depending on the region.

In Gaza, MGR distributes clean water via tankers to 100 families with safe water on a monthly basis. Water distribution costs a mere £980 for the entire year. That’s you and 5 friends giving less that £10 a month to change lives!

In India and Pakistan, MGR installs hand pumps where between 10 to 35 families can benefit form a single hand pump, depending on the region. If you and 5 of your friends gave £8 a month for a year, we could build a deep bore hand pump for a destitute community in India or Pakistan.

Or maybe you want to start a fundraising activity such as a run, a coffee morning or car wash... read some idea's here and we always welcome more!

You've helped us change the lives of thousands of people.

It's Your Call; What will you do?

At Muslim Global Relief (MGR), we know the value of recurring charity, projects that support sustainable development and have ongoing benefits to communities. They enable people to gradually improve their quality of life, benefitting their children and future generations. 

We run the It’s Your Call programme, which turns one off donations into recurring charity projects, the programme allows donors to decide how they want to help. 

It’s Your Call: you decide what you want to fund or build; you determine the cost. 

There are two ways you can take on an It’s Your Call project: 

• Develop your own idea or pick one of our popular It’s Your Call projects. (This could range from building a school for a poor, rural village in Indonesia to building a community well in Ghana)
• OR if your means are more limited, you can donate towards a larger commitment project, which other It’s Your Call donors are also contributing towards. (This could be a dialysis clinic in Pakistan, or a water filtration plant in Gaza)

Here are some typical projects MGR regularly runs under the It’s Your Call Programme:

You could fund the construction of a Mosque for £9,000 or get your friends and family to participate.

Part donations welcome.

You can fund the cost of a dialysis machine from £15,000 or get your friends and family to participate. Part donations welcome.

You can give the gift of water by building a handpump or a well from £170.00.

Establish a Water Filtration Plant in Gaza from £5,000.

Part donations welcome.

All of these projects if completed using Sadaqa donation become Sadaqah Jariyah - the project can span from 1 day to 100 years and maybe more.

What could be a better gift than one that will help vulnerable people around the world?

£1 = Big Change

£1 a month... it’s small change right? but lots of people who donate together can move mountains for world’s most poor and vulnerable with nothing but a struggle to survive.  

We want to make the world a better place without a large financial commitment from those who wish to give. Our motto of “bringing hope to life” visibly translates into our work across the world regardless of colour or creed. We work to eradicate poverty, disease and respond to people in crisis and natural disaster. Your £1 a month might not sound like much but we believe in the strength of many people like yourselves making a real difference. 

It’s a little that does a lot!
