Our Beliefs
At Muslim Hands, we believe that everyone, irrespective of race, colour or faith has the fundamental right to a life of dignity, free of poverty and oppression.
At Muslim Hands we believe that poverty can and must be eradicated, as it exists primarily due to the unjust distribution of resources.
At Muslim Hands, we believe that by working directly with poor communities we can bring about positive changes from within those communities.
At Muslim Hands, we believe that literacy, education and job-skills training are fundamental to the development of needy communities and are the most effective tool for empowering the poor to break out of poverty.
At Muslim Hands, we believe it is our duty to assist impoverished people in times of crisis such as war or natural disaster.
At Muslim Hands, we believe we are service providers to millions of people who share our view that "together, we can help the needy fight poverty."
These beliefs are reflected in our work and in our Mission Statement:
