Organisation Description: GRF Work in 25 Countries To Empower Communities
Over the last decade, we have transformed the lives of over 2.6 million people in some of the world's most vulnerable communities. As a humanitarian charity, GRF is dedicated to providing emergency aid and resources to those who need it most. We emphasise the human aspect of our work, empowering communities, lifting each other up and embracing our shared purpose.
As a Muslim charity, we help entire communities experiencing conflict and poverty, supporting them throughout the complete crisis. Thanks to your generous Sadaqah Jariyah and Zakat (obligatory charity) donations, we have been able to fill stomachs, quench thirst and deliver hope to vulnerable people during devastating periods.
