ISLAMIC RELIEF TURKEY
About İslamic Relief Türkiye:
İslamic Relief Türkiye (Uluslararası İslami Yardım Vakfı “UİYV”) is an international aid and
development charity, which aims to alleviate the suffering of the world’s poorest people. It is an
independent Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) found in Turkey in 2018.
As well as responding to disasters and emergencies, İslamic Relief Türkiye promotes sustainable
economic and social development by working with local communities – regardless of race, religion
or gender.
Our vision:
Inspired by our Islamic faith and guided by our values, we envisage a caring world where
communities are empowered, social obligations are fulfilled, and people respond as one to the
suffering of others.
Our mission:
Exemplifying our Islamic values, we will mobilize resources, build partnerships, and develop local
capacity, as we work to:
Enable communities to mitigate the effect of disasters, prepare for their occurrence and respond by
providing relief, protection and recovery.
Promote integrated development and environmental custodianship with a focus on sustainable
livelihoods.
Support the marginalized and vulnerable to voice their needs and address root causes of poverty.
We allocate these resources regardless of race, political affiliation, gender or belief, and without
expecting anything in return.
İslamic Relief Türkiye endeavours to work closely with local communities, focusing on capacitybuilding
and empowerment to help them achieve development without dependency.
ISLAMIC RELIEF IN SYRIA
İslamic Relief Türkiye (Uluslararası İslami Yardım Vakfı “UİYV”) is based in Istanbul, from where
we are providing support and aid to the Syrian people inside Syria.
İslamic Relief Türkiye is sending more life-saving aid supplies to Syria in response to the
escalating conflict and mounting numbers of casualties.
The expected outcomes of this project are to provide a healthy and safe environment for the local
community and the displaced, and to facilitate their access to their places of residence.
This activity is part of a major emergency relief and development program that has now provided millions
of pounds worth of assistance to the people of Syria. Food, non-food, shelter, medicines and medical
devices have been delivered deep inside Syria in recent months, and people in dire need have now been
able to gain steady access to lifesaving services. People in need of humanitarian aid have now received
assistance, food, shelter, clean water and other services.
