About Us

Humanity Without Borders is a non-profit organisation that was founded in April 2017 with the goal of providing aid and support to individuals and communities affected by poverty, conflict, and disasters around the world.

As a registered charity (registration number 1172624), we are committed to making a positive and lasting impact on the lives of those in need.

Since our inception, we have been able to provide aid and support to over 4.5 million families.

We believe in working closely with communities to ensure that our efforts are tailored to their specific needs and that our impact is sustainable.

We take the trust that donors place in us very seriously, and we guarantee a 100% donation policy. This means that all funds received are used exclusively for the purpose for which they were intended, and we are committed to transparency and accountability in all our operations.

We are proud of the progress that we have made over the last 6 years, and we look forward to continuing our work in the years to come. We are honored to have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world and we remain dedicated to our mission of providing hope and support to those in need.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

As Salamu Alaykum Dear Donors,

It is with great humility and gratitude that I am writing this letter to you all as chairman and co-founder of our charitable organisation, Humanity Without Borders, our organisation that provides aid and support to individuals and communities affected by poverty, conflict, and disasters around the globe.

As Muslims, we are reminded in the Qur’an and through the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that charity and helping those in need is a fundamental aspect of our faith.

"The believers, in their love and kindness for one another, are like a single body; if any part of it is ill, the whole body shares its sleeplessness and fever" (Sahih Muslim).

We founded Humanity Without Borders with a clear and concise goal, to provide long-term support and sustainable solutions to the communities we serve. We understand that short-term aid is vital in times of crisis, yet we firmly believe that the key to truly making a lasting impact is by working closely with communities to empower and enable them towards self-sufficiency. Our unwavering ethos is to provide the necessary tools and resources that will allow individuals and families to stand on their own two feet, thus building a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

I am pleased to report that at the end of this 2022 financial year, we were able to fundraise and distribute aid to over 1.4 million families in more than twelve countries worldwide. Our efforts have resulted in real and tangible differences in the lives of millions, and we are eternally grateful to our donors and supporters who have made this possible.

As we look forward to 2023, we remain committed to our mission and to making a positive and meaningful impact on the world. We shall continue to fundraise and distribute aid to those in need, and to promote sustainable development through long-term projects and partnerships – an example of this is we are opening our second long-term residential village for vulnerable families in Assam, India following the completion of 137 homes in our first village, the Mother Fatima village in Northern Syria.

We are sincerely grateful for the ongoing support of our donors, volunteers, and partners. Your contributions make a real and lasting difference in the lives of the people we serve, and we couldn't achieve our objectives without your unwavering support.

Thank you for your continued support of Humanity Without Borders. Please continue supporting Humanity Without Borders in any way you can and remember me, the board of trustees and all those in need in your pious prayers.

Kind Regards Mahomed Shabir Sacranie M S Sacranie Chairman & Co-Founder

MISCELLANEOUS

UDHIYAH / QURBANI

Qurbani, also known as Udhiyah or sacrifice, is the Islamic practice of sacrificing an animal, typically a cow, sheep, or goat, on Eid al-Adha. Every year, our relief teams worldwide sacrifice and distribute meat to millions worldwide, and for thousands of families this is the only time they have meat on their plates.

RAMADAN FOOD AID

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims as a month of fasting. During this time, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours, breaking the fast each evening with a meal called iftar. Ramadan is also a time for increased prayer, reflection, and charitable acts.

Every Ramadan, Humanity Without Borders and our relief teams locally and worldwide – this financial year, we supported over 177,253 people in need through our collective Ramadan efforts.

WATER PROJECTS

Giving water in charity, is an act of philanthropy that is highly valued. Providing access to clean and safe water can have a transformative impact on the lives of those in need.

Water is a fundamental of life, yet even today millions of people have little or no access to it. In many developing countries, millions of women spend several hours a day collecting water from distant and often polluted sources.

Humanity Without Borders are installing the following:

Borehole - A borehole is a mechanism which involves drilling deep into the ground to access clean water. The water is then powered up and a tap system is created.

Ring Wells - A ring well can serve clean water for up to thirty families and help the entire community.

Hand Pump / Tube Well – serve clean water for up to ten families.
