If you are unsure where to give your Zakat or Sadaqah, the Where Most Needed Fund ensures your donation reaches communities facing the greatest need. Since 1993, this fund has supported emergency relief during floods, droughts, earthquakes, and the aftermath of war.
Your donation allows Muslim Hands to deliver urgent aid, including survival kits and essential healthcare, wherever crises strike. In 2025, this fund supported thousands of people across Gaza, The Gambia, Niger, Mali, Pakistan, and beyond, bringing hope to those who need it most.

How Your Donations Are Supporting Families Around The World
Emergencies
In times of crises, a quick response can make all the difference between survival and tragedy.
Our Where Most Needed fund allows us to act fast and take action immediately.
Through your generosity we are able to provide life-saving relief to families affected by war and natural disasters.
Greatest Need
Water
Many communities around the world lack access to clean and safe water, which remains one of the biggest problems in the world.
Some communities have no choice but to rely on contaminated water, leading to the spread of illness and disease.
By donating to Muslim Hands' Where Most Needed Fund, you help provide water solutions that support entire communities, creating a lasting impact beyond the initial aid.
Safe Water Fund
Food Insecurity
Over 800 million people worldwide suffer from insufficient access to food, so many communities are suffering from severe poverty and starvation.
The lack of food is causing an alarming rate of malnutrition.
Your donations towards our Where Most Needed Fund enable us to assist those most at risk.
Together we can provide long-term support and foster enduring change.
Food Fund
Health
Communities facing poverty often struggle with limited access to essential healthcare.
With the spread of diseases from malnutrition and contaminated water, access to medical care is more crucial than ever.
Your donations support vital health programs, including maternal care, medical aid, and cataract surgeries, providing life-changing relief to those in need.
