2. To help give a family a home again after the destruction of war has left them without shelter.

3. To provide the elderly with the care and attention that they deserve. With your help, we can help get them the medication and treatment that they need.

4. To help families less fortunate than ourselves still enjoy the religious festivals such as Eid and Ramadhan

HRF have managed to help thousands of people world wide, and could not have done it without the help and support of it's donors and volunteers, so thank you. Here are some 'success stories'.

1. Last year HRF distributed 175000 Kilograms of meat to the poor and needy families throughout the world which means that approximately 1200 families benefited and enjoyed the blessings of Eid

2. Our volunteers keep on running! One of them, Mr Ali, ran the London and Edinburgh Marathons. He raised over £5,000 for the orphans in Iraq and Kashmir.

3. Over the last 3 years we've spent over £1 million in the Muzaffarabad region of Kashmir. We're continuing to support communities in this area, and we're in it for the long term.

Educational Project

In some communities education is an assumed right. In others it is a rare privilege. The lack of access to education faced by many of the world's children and adults has far reaching implications: communities can be forced to remain in a cycle off poverty. In recent times, education has come to mean a programme of formal study within the classroom. At HRF we believe that education can take many forms including the learning of skills and competencies allowing access to a sustainable income.

HRF School Sponsorship Programme allows your donations to make an impact in the heart off the classroom.

This year, the crisis in Iraq has heightened the need for investment in schools. HRF is currently sponsoring eight schools in the region. The sponsorship includes funding for repair work and teachers salaries as well as the distribution of books, pens, pencils and other school essentials.

Education in India

In India HRF sponsors the 'Jameatul Momenat' school for girls. The facility operates 3-5 year schooling programmes exclusively for girls from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Education in Kashmir

In Kashmir HRF has funded the construction and establishment of a children's home, providing care, shelter and education to over a thousand orphaned children. Plans to construct a second children's home are now being considered.

Education in Palestine

In Palestine, HRF has recently completed the refurbishment of a computer laboratory in the engineering department of the University of Gaza. The £25,000 project allows hundreds of undergraduate students access to a vast range of teaching and learning resources including the Internet.

Our educational projects also take the form of informal skills based training amongst conflict-afflicted communities. In Iraq HRF has invested over £40,000 on providing seamstress training and computer courses for thousands of students over a three year period. The ongoing programmes teach skills and empower participants.

HRF's commitment to education has granted numerous individuals access to learning facilities. We continue to work to ensure that as many people as possible are granted the opportunity to shine.
