Health Programs For The Needy – There are hundreds and thousands of infants, women, men and the old who die of various health issues only because of lack of facilities to treat the same or lack of money to treat these issues. Hence, in order to provide health facilities to these suffering people, the Islamic relief of UK undertake various programs which include medical camps around the habitat of these communities with free medical check -up facilities, free surgeries for the needy be it pregnancy, cancer, etc., plus free medicines and more.  These charities also provide preventive facilities which include building shelter, toilets, providing mosquito nets as well as soap and clean water, as basic as that.

 

Water and Livelihood Programs For The Needy – Water is one of the basic requirements of the poor communities and there are these places on earth where people have to walk miles to get just a can full of water that too not clean and hygienic. Hence, these charities work towards providing safe drinking water by digging up wells, bore wells as well as water on wheels facilities. For the young men who are out of work, these charities undertake training programs in small scale businesses like weaving, rearing domestic animals, handicraft skills and more so that these people can stand on their feet, manage their families on their own and grow.
