Salaam my name is Fatimah and Allhumdullilah I am running the 2023 NYC Marathon to raise funds for refugees. I am a former NCAA D1 Cross Country/ Track athlete and a first year PM&R resident physician. I am honored to be a part of the @NYC.MRC and @IslamicReliefUSA team. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of refugees around the world. Thank you for your support!
As of 2022, 100 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide, 27.1 million of whom are refugees. Conflict, violence, and persecution are among the main reasons people are forced to flee their homes, and according to the UN Refugee Agency, we are currently witnessing the highest number of displacement ever recorded. Similar to most situations like this, children are the most affected, making up more than 40% of all refugees.
Two thirds of people displaced across borders come from just five countries: Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan, and Myanmar. Thanks to support from donors like you, Islamic Relief is able to provide refugee aid to all five populations, both inside and outside of their respective countries.
We Need YOUR Help
Thanks to you, we’ve been able to accomplish so much. But there’s still so much more to do. By continuing to support our efforts towards refugee aid, you can help make a difference in the lives of those in desperate need.
Islamic Relief USA currently provides aid in more than 40 countries, including the United States. See our Where We Work section for more details.
To implement work around the world, the Islamic Relief global family has field offices (sometimes, multiple offices in the same country) based on need and location. In addition to the field offices, independent Islamic Relief affiliates operate in 16 countries along with the United States. These offices plan widespread relief efforts, provide funding, and implement domestic projects. Learn more on our Affiliates and Alliances page.
