How Muslim Hands USA Responds When Crisis Strikes

When disaster hits, speed saves lives. Through our Emergency Fund, we can act immediately, getting aid where it is needed without delay.
With your support, our teams are already on the ground in areas of urgent need. From distributing food in Gaza to supporting mobile clinics in Yemen, your giving fuels direct relief efforts where lives hang in the balance. This rapid response would not be possible without donors who care deeply and give consistently.
Emergency Relief in Gaza and Yemen
Across the globe, families are facing unimaginable hardship:
- In Gaza, access to food, medicine, and clean water is disappearing
- In regions like Pakistan, Mali, and Niger, water scarcity forces families to walk miles for a single bucket
These are not occasional emergencies. They are ongoing humanitarian crises. Your donations make a difference in every one of these situations. Whether through food distributions, water wells, or emergency shelters, we respond where needed.
How Your Sadaqah and Zakat Save Lives
Humanitarian giving is not just about generosity. It is about meeting urgent needs. When you give Zakat or Sadaqah, you feed families, supply medical clinics, and deliver water to communities in crisis.
Your donations support:
- Emergency food parcels
- Mobile clinics for remote areas
- Water trucking and long-term well construction
- Temporary shelters, hygiene packs, and trauma support
Through trusted programs like our Water Appeal and Sadaqah Jariyah initiatives, your giving creates ripples of mercy that extend far beyond one moment of need.
