Islamic Relief Sweden is an independent humanitarian and development organisation. We work together with marginalised, vulnerable and poverty-affected people and communities to prevent and alleviate human suffering and to save and transform lives, in over 40 crisis-affected countries around the world. Islamic Relief Sweden was founded in 1992 and is part of the Islamic Relief family. As a faith-inspired organisation, Islamic Relief Sweden’s work is guided by the teaching and values of the Qur’an and the Sunnah and our organisational values: compassion, custodianship, social justice, sincerity and excellence. It is also guided by the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence, as well as the global commitment that no-one should be left behind.

We will mobilise resources, build partnerships and develop local capacity as we work to: - Respond to humanitarian emergencies and protracted crises, in partnership with local and national actors. - Strengthen emergency preparedness among local communities, local and national authorities, and enable communities to mitigate the effect of disasters. - Promote integrated humanitarian, development, environmental and peacebuilding programming, in order to strengthen sustainable livelihoods, gender justice, climate adaptation and social justice. - Support marginalised and vulnerable people and communities to voice their needs and call for inclusive and transparent decision-making and access to financing, in order to address the root causes of poverty, inequality and conflict, as well as the effects of the climate crisis.
