Who We Are
Ummah Hands is a UK-based humanitarian organisation dedicated to serving individuals and communities facing hardship, poverty, and crisis. We work to deliver timely emergency relief while also supporting long-term development projects that help communities rebuild and become self-reliant. Our programmes focus on providing essential support such as food assistance, clean water, healthcare services, education, and sustainable livelihoods.
Guided by compassion, accountability, and strong Islamic values, we consider every donation an Amanah (trust). Our work is driven by a deep sense of responsibility towards the Ummah and humanity at large, ensuring aid is delivered with dignity, transparency, and lasting impact.
Our Mission
Our mission is to alleviate suffering and restore dignity by delivering effective, compassionate, and timely humanitarian aid to vulnerable communities around the world. We are committed to responding swiftly to emergencies while also addressing the root causes of poverty through sustainable development and long-term support programmes. Every action we take is guided by integrity, accountability, and a responsibility to serve humanity with care.
Through Zakat, Sadaqah, and emergency relief initiatives, we strive to ensure that vital assistance reaches those who need it most. By working closely with local partners and communities, we aim to create meaningful, lasting impact that empowers individuals, strengthens families, and brings hope to those facing hardship.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to basic necessities such as food, clean water, healthcare, and education. A world where communities are empowered to overcome poverty, recover from crises, and build sustainable futures with dignity, hope, and resilience.
At Ummah Hands, our vision is rooted in compassion, justice, and shared responsibility. We strive to create lasting change by supporting vulnerable families, uplifting communities, and responding to humanitarian needs with care and integrity.

We Believe
At Ummah Hands, we believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to live with dignity. We see charity not only as an act of kindness, but as a responsibility upon those who have been blessed — towards their fellow human beings.
Our work is inspired by the core Islamic values of compassion, empathy, self-sacrifice, and brotherhood. These principles guide everything we do, turning belief into meaningful action on the ground.
We serve people of all backgrounds without discrimination, supporting men, women, and children regardless of faith or ethnicity. Our approach is rooted in fairness, respect, and the protection of human dignity.
Our efforts are currently focused in the UK and Bangladesh, where we work to address both immediate needs and long-term challenges. In the UK, we aim to strengthen and empower British Muslim communities, encourage positive contribution to wider society, and promote social justice.
In Bangladesh, we support disadvantaged communities by improving access to clean water, food, education, and essential services. Through education-based and skills-focused initiatives, we help individuals and families become self-reliant, confident, and resilient.
We place special emphasis on supporting the elderly, vulnerable, and less able, ensuring their rights are upheld and their needs are not forgotten.
Ummah Hands is a non-profit organisation working solely for the pleasure of Allah. We are guided by trusted scholars to ensure all funds — including Zakat — are managed and distributed in accordance with Islamic principles.
Above all, we remain accountable to Allah and committed to serving humanity with sincerity, transparency, and trust.
