Islamic Relief in
Islamic Relief has been consistently implementing emergency programs and development projects in the country. Seasonal Ramadan and Qurbani programs take place every year and a sizeable orphans' welfare program is also in operation.
Emergency programs took place in 1999 after the Orissa Cyclone and in 2001 after the Gujarat Earthquake. Islamic Relief's sustainable development projects include water projects and Islamic micro-credit ventures, such as small business loans providing economic opportunity to those populating the sprawling slums that are adjacent to most Indian cities. |
