About Us

WHO WE ARE

Human Concern: A Force For Good Since 1980

In 1980, a group of compassionate individuals came together to establish Canada’s first Muslim relief organisation. The rest, as they say, is history.

And in 2023, we’ve expanded our reach by establishing a branch in the UK, continuing our global mission to support those most in need.
With hundreds of millions delivered in aid, thousands of orphans sponsored, and millions of lives saved during disasters, we take pride in our legacy.

However, we know our work is far from over. Driven by our vision, mission, and values, we remain committed to making the world a more just and equitable place for all.

OUR CAUSE

A World of Hope: Our Vision and Mission

For over 40 years, our leadership, staff, volunteers, and supporters have shared a vision for a world free from poverty and injustice. It’s an ambitious goal, but we believe it is one worth striving for. After all, we are God’s vicegerents on earth.

When we mobilise for emergency responses or assess areas in need, we embark on a mission to move families from crisis to sustainability.

Our goal is not to create dependence on aid but to empower communities to stand on their own, free from the need for external support.

For more than four decades, Human Concern has been at the forefront of relief efforts in response to natural disasters, conflicts, and other emergencies across the globe.
