IR has expanded to provide humanitarian aid in various fields including medicine, community building and education.

IR’s aims are to strive to alleviate the suffering of the world’s poorest people. IR respond to man-made & natural disasters and emergencies. Beyond the emergency phase, we are also engaged in integrated social sustainable development, working with local communities and other partners and donors.

Exemplifying our Islamic values, we will mobilise resources, build Partnerships, and develop local capacities to :

1. Enable communities to reduce the effect of disasters, prepare for their occurrence and respond appropriately,
2. Promote integrated development & environmental custodianship,focusing on sustainable livelihoods,
3. Support the marginalised & vulnerable to voice their needs and to work with others in addressing the root causes of poverty
