Message from the Founder
2024 was a challenging year, with escalating conflicts displacing millions. GRF was able to respond swiftly, delivering life-saving aid in areas like Sudan, Gaza and Lebanon. Prioritising our people-centred approach, we empowered communities, providing the necessary items needed to survive – and to thrive.
We are grateful for our donors’ support and in 2025, are working to expand efforts in food security, WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene), psychosocial support for refugee children and agricultural development. We remain committed to breaking the cycle of poverty and hope you will join us in empowering communities worldwide.
Watching people from all walks of life coming together to offer support and care to our brothers and sisters in need around the world has been humbling and inspiring. However small, every donation made a huge difference to communities around the world and we got to both be on the ground and watch our teams working day in, day out to reach more and more people.
However hard we work, it seems that more and more tragedy befalls communities in Sudan, Gaza, Lebanon and beyond. The team at GRF are never discouraged, they just push harder and our incredible donors never tire of doing their part. There is always more to be done and we are always striving to reach more people worldwide. Your support makes this possible and we know that the recipients of your generosity are always thankful and pray for those who helped. We humbly ask that you continue to support our various causes and keep those less fortunate in your prayers. Truly, the Hadith of our beloved prophet PBUH is ever pertinent “Sadaqa does not decrease wealth”, and for as little or as much as you can give, surely it will only increase in the blessings it will bring to our lives.
