Crisis Moves West

Since Islamic Relief’s beginning, our name has been synonymous with international relief. Bosnia. Ethiopia. Palestine. Chechnya. Pakistan. We’ve worked through the years to provide relief around the world. Over the past year—as we sent aid to starving children in Somalia, to impoverished families in Egypt and Palestine, to flood-damaged villages in Pakistan and to refugees from Syria— we’ve also placed new emphasis on providing aid in one more country: The United States.

A lot of people are surprised to hear that there are people in great need in America. But 50 million people live in poverty here, including 17 million children. And as the poor economy lingers and the number of people affected rises, the aid available to help is shrinking.
