Muslim Hands

Muslim Hands was established in 1993 in response to the crisis in Bosnia at the time. The charity began by sending aid to those in needs in the region.[3]

They regularly act on behalf of other UK NGOs to deliver aid supplies to areas where they have an existing field office or volunteers.[4]

They have been present on the ground for widely publicized disasters such as the Asian tsunami of 2004, the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the recent Horn of Africa. They have also been present for crises that have never attracted media attention such as the sub-zero winters in Kashmir, cholera outbreaks in Guinea Bissau and acute droughts in Somalia, Mali and Niger.

In January 2013, Muslim Hands was nominated for the Charity of the Year award at the British Muslim Awards.[5]

in 2019, Muslim Hands was awarded the Queen's Award for voluntary service.

Muslim hands, through its project Maidaan, is contributing towards the right to play for more than 1.5 street children[6] in Pakistan. Their street children football team won the runner up position at Street Child World Cup Russia 2018[7] and Qatar 2022.[8] Moreover, Muslim Hands Street Children Football Team also won the runner up trophy at Norway Cup 2023[9] in U-17 category.

In 2020, Muslim Hands launched a new website dedicated to their Great Charity Gifts service. It allows donors to give a useful item to someone in need, in the name of a loved one.
