Islamic Relief has
grown internationally from its humble beginnings in 1984 to become a
leading world charity. It started from Birmingham when Dr Hany al-Banna
was overwhelmed by the poverty and starvation on a trip to Sudan whilst
taking part in a medical conference.
Dr
al-Banna returned to the UK and was so inspired by his visit that he
left a well paid medical career to set up Islamic Relief. The charity
is now employing over 1000 staff world-wide and raises more than £20
million a year which goes towards starvation and poverty in countries
around the globe.
Dr
Hany al-Banna, a father of five who is originally from Yardley has
proved that with dedication, compassion and belief, one person can
actually change the world. With its HQ still in Birmingham this is an
organisation the we should all be proud of whatever our faith.
You

through volunteer work. Ring them today for more information on 0121
